Gesso prepares surfaces for a long-term bond, improving absorbency, tooth, and sealing out impurities. Without sealing, water or colour can leach through, causing discolouration. **Q: What is a ground?** A: A ground is the first base layer you paint onto the virgin surface, and the term for the material used. Artists traditionally use a gesso, but you can use a range of different mediums as a ground. We talk about a good ground adding ‘teeth’/’tooth.’ **Q: How do I create a coloured gesso?** A: If you want a bespoke colour, simply make your own. Select your acrylic colour - Professional Soft Body, Heavy Body and Basics acrylics have the ideal consistency - and mix with your acrylic gesso or medium to create the effect you want. **Q: What's the point of your black and gray gessoes?** A: These gessoes offer ready-mixed, pigmented bases for your artwork, allowing for instant colour coverage and texture. They contain a blend of pigments to give a neutral opaque base which gives depth, instantly eliminating your surface colour, **Q: Are Liquitex gessoes just for acrylics or can I use them with oils too?** A: Liquitex Professional Gessoes give a lasting, archival base perfect for use with oils when dry, helping to maintain the longevity of your work. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality with many uses.
