Review on 🎨 Prima Marketing 961466 Art Basics Gesso: Clear, 8.5-Ounce - High Quality Primer for All Creative Surfaces by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My second order was an epic failure!

I run mixed media art magazines and my teacher used this brand. I've tried Liquitex Clear Gesso before and it leaves a very grainy texture that makes it difficult to use anything on it. My first container with it was AWESOME. I used it over my matte medium collages and between layers of acrylic and texture paste to add focus and seal the end with it. The brush worked wonderfully. Full coverage that was fully transparent once dry so it didn't spoil my creativity. I've been using the container for a month. My second container is so thick that I can turn the container upside down and it takes two minutes for it to rise to the top. I can't comb it because it sticks together. It's even too thick to use with a map. The consistency of this container is literally like modeling paste! I am extremely disappointed!
