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

Stellar quality and coverage... helps my creative heart soar over my canvases!

Beautiful dark grey gesso that primes my canvases perfectly and gives a unique base tone to work from. While the size of the bottle is relatively small, I know this is a niche shade that I will happily use occasionally, and being made by liquitex reflects the price of name brand art supplies. Giving the product four stars as it performs excellently, but I’m sure there are similar products for a cheaper price point out there.

Great

I like this product. it dries clear.

I am reviewing this product as a white gesso. I had issues with this product not covering very well. I have worked with gesso and acrylic over the years and this acted more like a thin liquid acrylic. I am even wondering if the bottle was somehow labeled wrong. Just in case I missed something about this product- I decided on a 4-star rating. I can always use more white acrylic paint so nothing is wasted. It also has a strange smell similar to glue.

Fantastic. This brand never disappoints!

A few decades ago, Liquitex, and other brands, were pushing Acrylic Gesso, which is what this is. Liquitex used a lot more acrylic and less filler (white pigment with chalk or something like silica.) So it was less opaque, less absorbent than traditional gesso, and more flexible. 2-3 coats to cover a panel.

The product much better than gesso. Found ease to apply paper with hardly ANY wrinkles.

Liquitex gesso is the BEST

Art teacher introduced me to clear much better then white for wood projects
