Flexible, non-cracking and non-yellowing when dry.
Provides the perfect "tooth" and adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces, including canvas, paper, wood, or any clean, porous, non-oily surface.
One coat is usually all that is required.
Apply using knife or brush for thick and sculptural application.
Gives a textured matte white, opaque finish which provides a professional standard, archival base to help maintain the longevity of your work
Adds 3D texture and acts as an ideal base for thick sculptural shape and weight
Primes surfaces and adds maximum tooth for maximum color adhesion and stability
Stiffens canvases and creates the optimum absorbency for paint application
Always use a quality artist's gesso if you want a lasting, archival base - a low-cost ground will flake and separate from your support, taking your work with it.
With proper application and under the right conditions, a professional gesso like this will last generations
HOW TO USE
Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products.
Can be thinned with Liquitex Gesso Sand hard or shiny surfaces first, apply to support with a knife/brush and leave to dry for at least 24 hours before starting to paint.
Add acrylic color for a custom tint - Liquitex Soft Body Acrylic is the optimum consistency.
