Review: Fantastic quality gesso that preps a surface with a bit of toothiness for the paint layers - Goes on easily and evenly, dries quickly, adheres well, gives a nice toothiness to the surface so with a little sanding acrylic paint goes on well and smooth, works great on wood and canvas. Liquitex is a great brand and this is an awesome product for the price.
Review: Perfect for beginners and pros - Great for prepping my canvas for oil painting. I did use 3 coats with drying time in between. I didn’t sand on some of my canvases for a more textured look but some of them I did sand in between each coat, but I mostly like not sanding for the more textured look as I do t do a lot of detailed paintings. Super great product for beginners and pros imo.
