Surface preparations set the foundation for stable and permanent colour applications by sealing and adding tooth to almost any painting surface. Liquitex offer a selection of different types of prep acrylic medium products to accommodate all types of work, their acrylic medium preps do not crack or yellow over time.
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.

Surface Preparations are used to seal, prime and add tooth (for colour adhesion) to all surfaces such as canvas, wood, paper and metal. This same preparation is used for both acrylic and oil paint. Liquitex professional gessoes usually take just 1 coat.
