Liquitex Professional Clear Gesso – 473ml
$32.99
Clear Gesso Surface Prep Medium – 473ml
WHAT IT DOES
- Primes surfaces and adds a high level of tooth for maximum color adhesion and stability
- Gives a transparent matte finish which allows the original surface to show through and provides a professional standard, archival base to help maintain the longevity of your work
- Stiffens your canvases and creates the optimum absorbency for paint application
- Establishes a suitable surface for preliminary charcoal or pencil drawings
- 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.Under the right conditions, a professional gesso like this will last generations
HOW TO USE IT
- Use undiluted or thin with up to 25% water – when thinning more than 25%, use an equal mixture of water and Liquitex Matte Medium
- Sand hard or shiny surfaces first, apply a thin coat to support (avoiding overbrushing) with a wide, flat brush and leave to dry for at least 24 hours before starting to paint
- To create a smoother base, sand the surface and reapply gesso
- If using as a base for oils, apply 2-4 coats and sand between applications
- Add a transparent/semi-opaque acrylic color for a custom sheer tint – Soft Body Acrylic is the optimum consistency
