Liquitex Professional Black Gesso 237ML

Liquitex Professional Black Gesso 237ML is a pre-mixed black acrylic ground designed to prepare surfaces while adding instant colour and dramatic depth to your artwork. Its rich matte black finish creates a strong foundation for painting, helping colours appear more vibrant and luminous against a dark surface.

  • Contains a blend of pigments to give a matte black, opaque base, which instantly eliminates your surface color and allows you to build depth
  • Prime surfaces and adds a high level of tooth for maximum color adhesion and stability
  • Stiffens your canvases and creates the optimum absorbency for paint application, providing a professional standard, archival base to help maintain the longevity of your work
  • Establishes a suitable surface for preliminary charcoal or pencil drawings
  • Always use a quality artist’s gesso if you want a lasting, archival base – a low-cost ground will flake and separate from your support, taking your work with it. Under the right conditions, a professional gesso like this will last generations.

How to Use:

  • Use undiluted or thin with up to 25% water – when thinning more than 25%, use an equal mixture of water and Liquitex Matte Medium
  • Sand hard or shiny surfaces first, apply a thin coat to support with a wide, flat brush, and leave to dry for at least 24 hours before starting to paint
  • Add acrylic color for a custom tint – Soft Body Acrylic is the optimum consistency
  • To create a smoother base, sand the surface and reapply gesso
  • If using as a base for oils, apply 2-4 coats and sand between applications
