Description
Liquitex Basics Acrylic Gesso is one of the most popular painting products in the world — that’s because it offers an excellent balance of price and performance. This acrylic primer is very bright white and has great opacity, plus a brushable consistency that makes it easy to apply to raw canvas.
Our recommended technique for all gessos: apply three thin coats in alternating directions (paint along the longest side, then across the short side, then the long way again) for perfect gesso texture.
Available in a variety of sizes, from 250 mL tubes to gallon buckets. Made in France.
ABOUT LIQUITEX
Founded in Cincinnati in 1955, Liquitex was the first company to bring acrylic paints to the fine-art market. Along the way, the chemists and designers at Liquitex have created lots of important products that we now take for granted — for example, they formulated the first water-based acrylic gesso. (In the early 20th century, oil-based primers were much more common.)
Since 2000, Liquitex has been part of the Colart Group, along with Winsor & Newton and several other important manufacturing brands. Like Winsor paints (which were originally from the U.K.), most Liquitex products today are made at Colart’s paint factory in France.
