Liquitex BASICS Gesso Surface Prep Medium, 473ml (16-oz) Bottle, White

Goes on easily and evenly, dries quickly, adheres well, gives a nice toothiness to the surface so with a little sanding acrylic paint goes on well and smooth, works great on wood and canvas. Liquitex is a great brand and this is an awesome product for the price.

It's Gesso. Great product.

Used this for rock painting project for a bridal shower craft. I'm glad I did a test rock. It did take 2 coats to cover any gray peeking out from rock, but it dries quickly and worked well. No heavy odors.

Great for prepping my canvas for oil painting. I did use 3 coats with drying time in between. I didn’t sand on some of my canvases for a more textured look but some of them I did sand in between each coat, but I mostly like not sanding for the more textured look as I do t do a lot of detailed paintings. Super great product for beginners and pros imo.

As a budget item, it performs as it should. The coverage is good and like the regular gesso, will require layers. I'd say more than the brands regular gesso. There is a strong smell that isn't a deal breaker for me. Just thought I'd caution those of you with smell sensitivities. To me, it's thin, but not watery and it pours out smoothly. It's great for applying a thin layer over collage. For painting, it provides a nice smooth surface. 4 stars only due to the smell.

This is the second bottle of Liquirex BASICS Gesso I have ordered. It goes a long way and is very effective at priming my canvases. I will continue to be a repeat customer!

Just as described. Great quality, easy to use.

Covers good

Great Product

Nickel pour peindre sur un joint silicone. Une bonne couche de Gesso sur le joint silicone et le tour est jouée, on peut peindre sans problème.

Very well packaged. This is important when dealing with any sorts of paints. Gesso creamy and high quality. Thank You!!!

This gesso is just what I was looking for. Originally I had bought a gesso from a craft brand I had never heard of, thinking to give it a try, BIG mistake. When I took the lid off the gesso, I thought I was looking at cottage cheese. The lumps of white gesso were separated from the liquid and refused to blend. Needless to say, I returned that gesso and bought Liquitex's gesso. Taking the seal off of my Liquitex gesso was a night and day difference from the previous gesso - thick, creamy paint that smoothly covered my canvases. I got exactly what I expected from a respected artist brand = quality. You get what you pay for but that being said, Liquitex's gesso had the same amount as the previous one I had ordered and $2 more. What an amazing deal and peace of mind, knowing that there's some quality control in place.

Good for painting primary
