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

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 .

It exactly what I was looking for. I’ve used this brand for years. I just wanted a larger bottle. Could not find in the stores

Good price for that quantity

Easy to apply and lasts as long as let dry long enough , at least 24 hours

It is not CLEAR, more of a cloudy grayish white. I wanted a product that would allow other images to bleed through. This product does not. It covers.

Worked well and did not obscure the numbers printed on my canvas.

Used it as a base for my craft painting

This is formulated for canvas and does real well there, as one would expect. I needed a black matte base on a wooden table I was working on and admit that after finishing the bottle I bought something cheaper. But only because my local store didnt stock the liquitex stating $. Whatever! REGRET! It dried too quickly & f l a k e d o f f ! Now, I know that it wasnt formulated for wood, but please, its porous & SHOULD WORK. This experience serves to highlight the performance AND flexibility of the liquitex brand prep. Sometimes it pays to be brand loyal, because obviously the experience shared was a waste of time and money, which in the end is way too expensive in the first place. I will add, however, that on canvasses it has never presented a problem & complaining has never occurred to me. Enjoy.

Works as expected. Love the clear to layer over colors already painted on canvas.

Excellent! Kept wood from absorbing so much paint. Highly recommended
