Surface Prep Mediums are essential for sealing, priming, and adding tooth for color adhesion on various surfaces including canvas, wood, paper, and metal. This versatile preparation works well with both acrylic and oil paints. Our professional gessoes typically require just a single coat, and when mixed with Liquitex Soft Body color, they create personalized tints and primers.

The Liquitex Super Heavy Gesso Surface Prep Medium is an innovative impasto acrylic gesso designed to prepare painting surfaces for acrylic and oil paints, enabling the creation of thick, sculptural applications. It serves as an excellent ground for both acrylic and oil paints and can be mixed with acrylic color to produce a tinted ground. This surface prep medium is an outstanding base coat primer for a variety of applications, including murals, often requiring just one coat.

It can be applied to any surface that accepts traditional acrylic media, such as canvas, paper, or wood. Liquitex Surface Prep Mediums are lightweight, non-toxic, and dry to a water-resistant, non-yellowing surface, making them safe for use on various materials. To apply, simply use a knife or brush on canvas, paper, wood, or any clean porous, non-oily surface, tinting the color with Liquitex Soft or Heavy Body Artist Colors for added customization.
