Liquitex Gesso

Liquitex Gesso is a range of primers used to prepare surfaces before painting, providing an optimal base for acrylic and other paint types. The product creates a smooth, lightly absorbent surface that improves paint adhesion and longevity, while enhancing control over brushstrokes and pigment.

Liquitex Gesso can be applied to a wide range of surfaces such as canvas, wood, paper and cardboard. It dries to a matte, flexible finish that both protects the surface and prevents uneven paint absorption. This makes it especially important in professional painting and projects where durability and colour accuracy are essential.

Whether working with acrylic, mixed media or experimental techniques, Liquitex Gesso is a fundamental tool for creating a stable and reliable painting surface. The range is appreciated by both artists and students who want a controlled starting point for their creative work.
