A heavy, structured, titanium white acrylic ground to add 3D texture and maximum tooth to your surface.
What it does
Gives a textured matte white, opaque finish which provides a professional standard, archival base to help maintain the longevity of your work
Adds 3D texture and acts as an ideal base for thick sculptural shape and weight
Primes surfaces and adds maximum tooth for maximum color adhesion and stability
Stiffens canvases and creates the optimum absorbency for paint application
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
Can be thinned with Liquitex Gesso
Sand hard or shiny surfaces first, apply to support with a knife/brush and leave to dry for at least 24 hours before starting to paint
Add acrylic color for a custom tint - Soft Body Acrylic is the optimum consistency
This product does exactly what it says it does and saves a lot of time that would otherwise be spent doing multiple layers of gesso and multiple sanding. I found applying it using a palette knife gave a smoother surface than using a brush.
