Liquitex - Black Gesso 237ml

A pre-mixed neutral gray acrylic ground to prepare your surface and add instant color. \n \nKey Features \n

\n
• Contains a blend of pigments to give a matte neutral grey, opaque base which instantly eliminates your surface color and allows you to build depth
\n
• Primes surfaces and adds a high level of tooth for maximum color adhesion and stability
\n
• 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
\n
• Establishes a suitable surface for preliminary charcoal or pencil drawings
\n
• 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. Under the right conditions, a professional gesso like this will last generations

\nHow To Use \n

\n
• Use undiluted or thin with up to 25% water - when thinning more than 25%, use an equal mixture of water and Liquitex Matte Medium
\n
• 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
\n
• Add acrylic color for a custom tint - Soft Body Acrylic is the optimum consistency
\n
• To create a smoother base, sand the surface and reapply gesso
\n
• If using as a base for oils, apply 2-4 coats and sand between applications
