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.

Good quality gesso. It dries quickly and helps my paint and inks stick with good color on the page. I use it for mixed media art and have found it to work great for what I am doing. I will buy again.

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.

Nice

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.

Covers good
