Liquitex Medium GESSO White 118ml

Key Features

Primes surfaces and adds a high level of tooth for maximum color adhesion and stability

Gives a matte white, opaque finish which 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 good 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 will last generations

How to Use

Start by adding up to 25% of Slow-dri to your color/medium with a knife

Sand hard or shiny surfaces first, apply a thin coat to support 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 acrylic color for a custom tint - Soft Body Acrylic is the optimum consistency
