    What it does

    • It contains a blend of pigments to give a matte black, opaque base which instantly eliminates your surface color and allows you to build depth
    • Primes surfaces and adds a high level of tooth for maximum color adhesion and stability
    • Stiffens your canvases and creates the optimum absorbency for paint application, providing a professional standard, archival base to help maintain the longevity of your work
    • 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. 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
    • 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 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
