Liquitex Gesso White Surface Prep Medium, 1.89L Tub

Liquitex offers a wide range of acrylic mediums that can inspire creativity throughout the painting process. Surface Prep Mediums are used to seal, prime, and add tooth to surfaces such as canvas, wood, paper, and metal. This preparation is suitable for both acrylic and oil paint applications. Our professional gessoes typically only require one coat, and by adding Liquitex Soft Body color to the gesso, customized tints and primers can be created.

Liquitex BASICS Gesso Surface Prep Medium is an affordable acrylic gesso that prepares painting surfaces for both acrylic and oil paint. It serves as a high-quality base coat primer, usually requiring only one coat. It can be applied to various materials like canvas, paper, and wood that are compatible with traditional acrylic media. Liquitex Surface Prep Mediums are lightweight, non-toxic, and dry to a water-resistant, non-yellowing finish.

For application, the gesso can be used undiluted or thinned up to 25% with water. If further thinning is required, an equal mixture of water and Liquitex Matte Medium can be used. This medium is ideal for preparing surfaces for acrylic and oil paint, as it dries to a water-resistant, non-yellowing surface. Additionally, it is intermixable with Liquitex Professional Acrylic Paint Colors and Mediums, making it versatile. Furthermore, it conforms to ASTM D4236 safety standards, making it safe for educational use.
