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

Goes on easily and evenly, dries quickly, adheres well, gives a nice toothiness to the surface so with a little sanding acrylic paint goes on well and smooth, works great on wood and canvas. Liquitex is a great brand and this is an awesome product for the price.

It's Gesso. Great product.

Used this for rock painting project for a bridal shower craft. I'm glad I did a test rock. It did take 2 coats to cover any gray peeking out from rock, but it dries quickly and worked well. No heavy odors.

Great for prepping my canvas for oil painting. I did use 3 coats with drying time in between. I didn’t sand on some of my canvases for a more textured look but some of them I did sand in between each coat, but I mostly like not sanding for the more textured look as I do t do a lot of detailed paintings. Super great product for beginners and pros imo.

As a budget item, it performs as it should. The coverage is good and like the regular gesso, will require layers. I'd say more than the brands regular gesso. There is a strong smell that isn't a deal breaker for me. Just thought I'd caution those of you with smell sensitivities. To me, it's thin, but not watery and it pours out smoothly. It's great for applying a thin layer over collage. For painting, it provides a nice smooth surface. 4 stars only due to the smell.

This is the second bottle of Liquirex BASICS Gesso I have ordered. It goes a long way and is very effective at priming my canvases. I will continue to be a repeat customer!

Just as described. Great quality, easy to use.

Covers good
