Liquitex® Clear Gesso

 Primes surfaces. Adds tooth. Gives a transparent matte finish leaving ground color unchanged.

Product Details/Features:

• Primes surfaces and adds a high level of tooth for maximum color adhesion and stability
• Gives a transparent matte finish which allows the original surface to show through and provides a professional standard, archival base to help maintain the longevity of your work
• Stiffens your canvases and creates the optimum absorbency for paint application
• Establishes a suitable surface for preliminary charcoal or pencil drawings
• 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. Under the right conditions, a professional gesso like this will last generations

Instructions:

• 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
