Liquitex Professional Gesso Surface Prep Medium, 3.78L (128-oz), Clear

Im a professional artist. This is by far the worst gesso I have ever used, including many cheap student-grade brands. It is incredibly runny, thin, and covers poorly. I have $1 bottles of crappy craft paint that have better viscosity. I understand that Liquitex also makes a thicker version of their gesso, but the other brands of professional gesso have been so thick I had to scoop them out with a knife and thin them down for my projects. I still prefer that over this alternative. Bottom line: a professional product should NOT be this thin. Save your money!

Je men sers pour rendre un papier à dessin apte à recevoir acrylique ou huile ou crayons de couleur, et surtout les pastels.

Great product! Easy to use, and covers nicely.

My artist son recommended this to my wife, also an artist. My wife likes this so much weve reordered it ... a larger bottle the second time. We will continue to order this as we need it from Amazon, because the price is great and the service is excellent.

Love this !

Liquitex never fails to deliver. Ive used numerous brands over the years, generally the cheaper ones found at Michaels and similar craft stores, and if you are at all interested in making a painting full of dimension and quality texture, you need to get something nice and thick like liquitex. The bargain brands are generally thinned down and just dont cut it, but liquitex always provides nice, even texture and lasting quality. Like most acrylics, it drys relatively fast, so unless you are skilled you might want to add some retarder that slows down the drying process and allows you to paint like you are using oils.

will buy again.

I say to use

Great product!!! Its recommended!!!!

Artists use gesso all the time to prepare painting surfaces, over many years I’ve used gallons of acrylic gesso in clear, white, and black. This gesso dries milky, not clear. Cannot recommend.
