Liquitex Professional Clear Gesso

Techniques
Use with:
Graphite, pencil & charcoal
Chalk & oil pastels
Acrylic & oil paints/mediums
Use on:
Raw canvas
Colored & patterned supports
Hardboard & paper
Wood & non-oily, porous supports
Use undiluted or thin with up to 25% water – when thinning more than 25%, use an equal mixture of water and Liquitex Matte Medium.
Sand hard or shiny surfaces first, apply a thin coat to support (avoiding overbrushing) with a wide, flat brush and leave to dry for at least 24 hours before starting to paint.
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.
Add a transparent/semi-opaque acrylic color for a custom sheer tint – Soft Body Acrylic is the optimum consistency.
