Fantastic quality gesso that preps a surface with a bit of toothiness for the paint layers
Goes on easily and evenly, dries quickly, adheres well, gives a nice toothiness to the surface so with a little sanding acrylic paint goes on well and smooth, works great on wood and canvas. Liquitex is a great brand and this is an awesome product for the price.

Perfect for beginners and pros
Great for prepping my canvas for oil painting. I did use 3 coats with drying time in between. I didn’t sand on some of my canvases for a more textured look but some of them I did sand in between each coat, but I mostly like not sanding for the more textured look as I do t do a lot of detailed paintings. Super great product for beginners and pros imo.

Great value
Value and quality. Added a little water because I was priming a 12' x 9 canvas. I would give it 24 hours to fully dry. I like how matte and dull it is.

Always great quality.
Great quality gesso as always, very good coverage, needed to cover a dark “galaxy” printed canvas and it only took one coat.

This gesso is just what I was looking for. Originally I had bought a gesso from a craft brand I had never heard of, thinking to give it a try, BIG mistake. When I took the lid off the gesso, I thought I was looking at cottage cheese. The lumps of white gesso were separated from the liquid and refused to blend. Needless to say, I returned that gesso and bought Liquitex's gesso. Taking the seal off of my Liquitex gesso was a night and day difference from the previous gesso - thick, creamy paint that smoothly covered my canvases. I got exactly what I expected from a respected artist brand = quality. You get what you pay for but that being said, Liquitex's gesso had the same amount as the previous one I had ordered and $2 more. What an amazing deal and peace of mind, knowing that there's some quality control in place.
