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 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.Under the right conditions, a professional gesso like this will last generations • 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 • To create a smoother base, sand the surface and reapply gesso • If using as a base for oils, apply 2-4 coats and sand between applications |
