    Im not sure if this is the right product but this program will not let me cancel this post... So this post is for both regular and super heavy body gesso. The product I got was super heavy body gesso by Liquitex but Ive used both. This product (and regular gesso) was excellent, and is great for scraping on extra layers onto purchased stretched canvases, or also making textures.

    I use it to prepare canvas for acrylic painting.

    This does NOT dry clear, it dries white.

    I am reviewing this product as a white gesso. I had issues with this product not covering very well. I have worked with gesso and acrylic over the years and this acted more like a thin liquid acrylic. I am even wondering if the bottle was somehow labeled wrong. Just in case I missed something about this product- I decided on a 4-star rating. I can always use more white acrylic paint so nothing is wasted. It also has a strange smell similar to glue.

    Perfect gesso product. I love the size of this bottle. It works out well to pour into a small dish and then paint over large sections of a project. It also does a good job for just squeezing out a little right onto the brush.

    This gesso was better then I expected sometimes it is like fast drying cement

    This gesso is the thickest one Ive ever used. It was so thick i couldnt spread it using a brush. However, after thinning it down I got really good coverage and am pretty impressed with the product itself. I will be buying it again if I ever get through this tin.

    Clear Gesso prep is not something I run out of quickly but when I did I spent hours on Amazon trying to choose the right one. Interestingly there are lots of sellers for Liquitex products and as I know liquitex I went with this one from ColArt only because of the price which is value for money.

    I use a lot of Liquitex gesso but this particular product has the consistency of thick water, it splashes when I use it, which is not the expected consistency of Liquitex acrylic. The seal was also broken when I unscrewed the lid to remove the inner seal. Not convinced that the product has not been watered down, very unusual consistency (and yes, of course Ive shaken the bottle before use).

Liquitex offers the broadest range of acrylic mediums to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. Surface Prep Mediums are used to seal prime and add tooth (for color adhesion) to all surfaces such as canvas wood paper and metal. This same preparation is used for both acrylic and oil paint. Our professional gessoes usually take just one coat, and adding Liquitex Soft Body color to any gesso creates customized tints and primers. Liquitex Clear Gesso Surface Prep Medium is an ideal high tooth for pastel oil pastel graphite and charcoal.  Excellent ground for acrylic and oil paint.  Mix with acrylic color to have a tinted ground.  Dries clear to translucent depending on thickness.  Excellent base coat primer for many applications, including murals. Can be applied to any material or surface that will accept traditional acrylic media, such as canvas, paper, wood, etc.  Liquitex Surface Prep Mediums are lightweight, non-toxic, and dry to a water-resistant, non-yellowing surface. APPLICATION: For canvas, paper, wood, or any clean porous non-oily surface. Sizes and primes while maintaining the original appearance of the surface. Provides paper with good tooth for chalk and oil pastel techniques. Mix with a very small amount of transparent or translucent acrylic color to tint the ground, while maintaining transparency.
