What it does

• Gives a textured matte white, opaque finish which provides a professional standard, archival base to help maintain the longevity of your work
• Adds 3D texture and acts as an ideal base for thick sculptural shape and weight
• Primes surfaces and adds maximum tooth for maximum color adhesion and stability
• Stiffens canvases and creates the optimum absorbency for paint application
• Always use a quality artist’s gesso if you want a lasting, archival base – a low-cost ground will flake and separate from your support, taking your work with it. With proper application and under the right conditions, a professional gesso like this will last generations

How to use it

• Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
• Can be thinned with Liquitex Gesso
• Sand hard or shiny surfaces first, apply to support with a knife/brush and leave to dry for at least 24 hours before starting to paint
• Add acrylic color for a custom tint – Soft Body Acrylic is the optimum consistency
