Liquitex - Acrylic Clear Gesso
Acrylic Clear Gesso
Prime any surface for mixed media without hiding its natural texture or color
Transparent priming changes what's possible on colored and found surfaces. Liquitex Clear Gesso preserves the underlying color or texture of your support while creating the tooth needed for paint adhesion, essential when working on toned papers, stained wood, or unconventional materials where you want the substrate to remain visible. The acrylic polymer formula dries to a flexible, non-yellowing film that won't crack under repeated layering or handling.
High tooth makes this primer equally effective for dry and wet media. Use it to prepare surfaces for pastel, charcoal, or graphite work where you need grip without obscuring the ground color. It handles oil and acrylic paint with equal reliability, providing proper adhesion without the opacity of traditional white gesso. The clear finish lets you build color relationships from the support up rather than starting from white every time.
Apply it to canvas, paper, wood, or mixed media substrates. Available in sizes from 4 oz. for testing techniques to 1 gallon for studio production, giving you flexibility to match quantity to project scale without committing to more primer than you'll actually use.
