Key Features
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 colour 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 under the right conditions, a professional gesso like this will last generations

How to Use
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 colour for a custom tint - Soft Body Acrylic is the optimum consistency
To create a smoother base, sand the surface and reapply the gesso
If using as a base for oils, apply 2-4 coats and sand between applications
