Review on 🎨 Liquitex 7608 Professional Gesso: Clear Surface Prep Medium, 8-oz - Perfect for Art Projects! by Summer Hendricks

There are several Liquitex Gesso products on this site, so I'm offering a comparison of the ones I've used. Liquitex Professional Clear Gesso: An interesting material that you may want to use for its specific properties and not for general use. Clear gesso is fun when you have an interesting background that you want to keep ready for other materials. In addition, this gesso is extremely toothy. It works well on oil pastels or any other material that something sticks to really well. I wouldn't use it on soft pastels if you want to smooth them out with your fingers. It's very gritty and will likely scratch your skin. if you rub it too hard. Liquitex Professional Gesso (white): Flowable Gesso with medium to high pigment coverage. If you want to completely cover the background, you'll probably need two coats. Liquitex Basics Acrylic Gesso: A slightly dense gesso with light to medium pigment coverage. In dry form, it is roughly similar to a professional in terms of teeth. I did a comparison test with two white Gesso products and found that Basics is thicker but less pigmented while Professional is wetter but more pigmented. They are both quality products and what would be better really depends on your application.
