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

Perfect Gesso!

I usually by the professional gesso. This “basic” smells slightly so I’m more comfortable with extra ventilation. Good coverage. Perfect for beginners and art journaling.

I use this to prep my canvases for pour painting. It is excellent quality. Very easy to use and spread. Great for beginners - if you are new to art spread this on your canvas with a brush before using your acrylics.

Its very thick and needs to be thinned down before using. Dries very quickly.

I’m glad I was able to get this as I heard wonderful reviews. The box was completely intact but when I unwrapped the plastic and actually opened the top, I found the cap itself was broken. I’m disappointed with this as it doesn’t close all the way and I don’t want this to dry up prematurely and effect it’s ability to work. I did a test run on some mixed media paper and it did great but I’m afraid it won’t last as long as it should with this defective cap.

Im a beginner crafter and found this product very easy to use. Feels like spreading a regular school glue.

Great for my artwork

fair price

You would think Gesso is Gesso is Gesso, but each brand has their own quality and consistency. This Basics brand by Liquitex is more than good and costs several dollars less that most brands. Highly recommend.

Only used it once and it seemed to do what it was supposed to do....cover a surface.
