Liquitex Professional Gesso Surface Prep Medium, 237ml (8-oz), Black

This clear gesso works well. I apply perhaps 3 coats and sand a bit before the last one. Its a little rough otherwise. Its a bit milky, especially where its thicker. Wish it could be clearer, but all the clear ones are pretty similar.

They did a great job of packing it. I also like the brand it is a good product.

Very good!

Very nice product and really easily spreads out rather well and really does well for all types of paints. Three coats and it is all you need

This is the stuff I needed thanks

I bought this because Bob Ross used black gesso, and I like Liquitex.

Was not familiar with gesso until I did some research . A thin coat mixed with a little water I used a sponge brush to apply and let dry . It’s transparent , you can’t even see it. Paint goes on much more easily . Will be using from now on .

This page covers several Liquitex Gesso products so I will offer my comparison of those I have used. Liquitex Professional Clear Gesso: Interesting stuff, which you would want to use for its specific properties, rather than general use. Clear gesso is kind of fun if you have an interesting background you want to preserve while prepping it to take other materials. This gesso, additionally, is extremely toothy. It is nice for oil pastels, or any other medium that really does well with something to stick to. I would not want to use it for soft pastels, though, if you like to smooth them with your fingers. It is very gritty and would probably scratch your skin if you rubbed it too much. Liquitex Professional Gesso (white): a free flowing gesso with medium to strong pigment coverage. If you want to cover up the background completely you will probably want two layers. Liquitex Basics Acrylic Gesso: a slightly heavy bodied gesso with light to medium pigment coverage. About similar in tooth to the professional, when dry. I did a comparison test of the two white gesso products and found that the Basics is thicker but less pigmented, while the Professional is wetter, but more strongly pigmented. They are both quality products and which would be better really depends on your application.

Covered up an old oil painting very well .

This is one of those products that I alway MUST have in my studio.
