Liquitex Professional Clear Gesso

A clear ground that keeps the working surface visable whilst preparing the surfice and adding a high level of tooth. Clear Gesso provides an ideal degree of tooth for pastel, oil pastel, graphite, and charcoal as well as an excellent ground for acrylic and oil paints. This gesso is ideal for painting over coloured or pattered surfaces or over an under drawing. Mix with acrylic colour to establish a tinted transparent/translucent ground. Dries clear to translucent depending on thickness. One coat is usually enough.

What it does

• Primes surfaces and adds a high level of tooth for maximum colour adhesion and stability.
• Gives a transparent matte finish which allows the original surface to show through and provides a professional standard, archival base to help maintain the longevity of your work.
• Stiffens your canvases and creates the optimum absorbency for paint application.
• Establishes a suitable surface for preliminary charcoal or pencil drawings.
