Liquitex Professional Gesso Surface Prep, Clear 473ml (16oz)

4.4331 Reviews  Write A Review  Ask Question  


Clear Gesso provides an ideal level of tooth for pastel oil, pastel graphite, and charcoal while maintaining an apparent size and keeping the working surface visible. It also serves as an excellent ground for acrylic and oil paints. This Gesso is particularly suitable for painting over coloured or patterned surfaces and for both over and under drawing. Mixing it with acrylic colour lets you create a tinted transparent or translucent ground. It dries clear to translucent depending on the thickness applied; typically, one coat is sufficient. Gesso offers the perfect "tooth" and adhesion for various supports and surfaces, such as canvas, paper, and wood, and it can be thinned with water.

This Clear Gesso provides an excellent, high-tooth, stable surface for various media. Depending on its thickness, it dries clear to translucent and remains flexible and non-yellowing when dry. Combine Liquitex Clear Gesso with acrylic paint to create a coloured gesso.

Liquitex Gesso is a ready-mixed painting ground that can be used with any paint. It offers the ideal "tooth" and adhesion for various supports and surfaces, including canvas, paper, and wood. Additionally, it can be thinned with water.

Liquitex offers the broadest range of acrylic mediums to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. Surface Prep Mediums are used to seal, prime, and add tooth (for colour adhesion) to all surfaces, such as canvas, wood paper, and metal. The same preparation is used for both acrylic and oil paint.

Liquitex Professional gessoes typically require just one coat, and mixing Liquitex Soft Body colour into any gesso produces custom tints and primers. Liquitex Coloured Gesso Surface Prep Mediums are premium acrylic gessos designed to prepare surfaces for acrylic and oil paints. Using pre-mixed gesso is more convenient than using clear tinting gesso.

  • Premium acrylic gessos prepare surfaces for acrylic and oil painting.
  • Lightweight, non-toxic and dries to a water-resistant, non-yellowing surface
  • Intermixable with Liquitex Professional Acrylic Paint Colours and Mediums.
  • Conforms to ASTM D4236; Safe for educational use

APPLICATION: Use undiluted or dilute up to 25% with water. If diluting more than 25%, mix equal parts of water and Liquitex Matte Medium to thin the gesso—tint the colour with Liquitex Soft or Heavy Body Artist Colours.
