Character:
- Lightfast and archival

- Intermixable with all Liquitex materials
What it does:
- 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 colour 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. With proper application and under the right conditions, a professional gesso like this will last generations
How to use it:
- Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
- 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 colour for a custom tint - Soft Body Acrylic is the optimum consistency
