Description

Liquitex Clear Acrylic Gesso seals, primes and adds tooth while leaving the surface visible, and can be used not only for acrylic colours but also oils, oil pastels, graphite and charcoal.

Usual choices include canvas, wood, paper and metal, but it’s also an excellent primer for mural work and just about any non-oily surface will take it.

With just a single coat it dries to a clear and flexible matt finish, but you can apply further coats to reduce the visibility of your working surface, or mix with a dab of translucent acrylic colour to tint.

Q&A (1)
Q Can this be used to prime over surfaces already painted in oil? If not is there another product that can?
A

This product works well on non-oily surfaces, so it's unlikely to work effectively if layered over an oil painting. It would probably be best to use an oil based primer over oil paint.

12th March 2021 Reviewed by Christopher Murphy This is lovely stuff, you can prime anything and keep the general colour of the surface beneath, much better for a ground than the blinding white variety.

9th February 2021 Reviewed by Finn Robinson Gives a good toothy texture but as a primer I'd rather use a PVA mix. Seems expensive for what it is and doesn't prime over painted areas very well, leaving a slight cloudiness.

1st May 2020 Reviewed by Mark Harrison I use this for wood panels after sealing/sizing with *** ***. Its a great product that dries clear which suits me as i often paint using acrylics with the wood grain showing as part of the background. The tooth of the gesso means that i dont have to apply more than 2 layers of paint.

11th June 2019 Reviewed by Olga Teresa Pawlak Adds a lovely tooth for the paint to stick. The gesso is a nice, liquid consistency but quite a bit has to be used to cover a whole page/canvas; it does dry clear though and does a great job protecting the surface from paints such as oils.
