Liquitex Professional Gesso Surface Prep Medium, 237ml (8-oz), Black

I like all the Liquitex products. I just used this medium to prime 9 art boards in preparation for painting and mixed media projects. Medium is smooth, light consistency, spreads well and dries fast. I would recommend this item to mixed media artists.

A must in oil painting

This is formulated for canvas and does real well there, as one would expect. I needed a black matte base on a wooden table I was working on and admit that after finishing the bottle I bought something cheaper. But only because my local store didnt stock the liquitex stating $. Whatever! REGRET! It dried too quickly & f l a k e d o f f ! Now, I know that it wasnt formulated for wood, but please, its porous & SHOULD WORK. This experience serves to highlight the performance AND flexibility of the liquitex brand prep. Sometimes it pays to be brand loyal, because obviously the experience shared was a waste of time and money, which in the end is way too expensive in the first place. I will add, however, that on canvasses it has never presented a problem & complaining has never occurred to me. Enjoy.

I say to use

You cant go wrong with any of the Liquitex products

Best i couldve gotten i wish iyt wasnt so pricey but glad i went with this brand i thinkmill keppnto thos brand beforeni ever try to save the few bucks.

This was highly recommended in a news letter from Arizona gourds. I will use it with prisma colored pencils. Have not use yet, but well known artist in gourds use it all the time.

I haven’t used it yet but it was delivered spilled, and leaking.

I purchased this clear gesso to prep my Paint By Numbers canvas and it worked perfectly which helps stop the canvas soaking up the paint so much with a better even coverage. I just took a small folded piece of brown paper bag to lightly go over the surface after the gesso dried to smooth some of the roughness out!

Easy to use.
