Liquitex Professional Acrylic Gesso
Professional-Grade Primer for a Strong, Archival Foundation

Liquitex Professional Acrylic Gesso is a high-quality, archival primer designed to prepare your surface for acrylic and oil painting.
It creates the perfect level of tooth (texture) for maximum paint adhesion, ensuring your colours stay vibrant and long-lasting.
Ideal for artists who demand durability, stability, and professional results.

✔ Superior Adhesion – Primes surfaces and adds excellent tooth for strong paint grip
✔ Matte White Finish – Opaque, bright white surface that enhances colour vibrancy
✔ Archival Quality – Helps maintain the longevity of your artwork for generations
✔ Strengthens Canvas – Stiffens fabric supports and optimizes absorbency
✔ Perfect for Sketching – Great base for charcoal and pencil underdrawings
✔ Custom Tint Option – Mix with acrylic colour (Soft Body Acrylic recommended) for toned grounds

⚠️ Tip: Always use a professional-grade gesso for archival work. Lower-quality grounds may flake or separate over time.
