{"product_id":"liquitex-basics-acrylic-gesso","title":"Liquitex Basics Acrylic Gesso","description":"\u003cp\u003eLiquitex Basics Acrylic Gesso is one of the most popular painting products in the world — that's because it offers an excellent balance of price and performance. This acrylic primer is very bright white and has great opacity, plus a brushable consistency that makes it easy to apply to raw canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur recommended technique for all gessos: apply three thin coats in alternating directions (paint along the longest side, then across the short side, then the long way again) for perfect gesso texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in a variety of sizes, from 250 mL tubes to gallon buckets. Made in France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eABOUT LIQUITEX\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in Cincinnati in 1955, Liquitex was the first company to bring acrylic paints to the fine-art market. Along the way, the chemists and designers at Liquitex have created lots of important products that we now take for granted — for example, they formulated the first water-based acrylic gesso. (In the early 20th century, oil-based primers were much more common.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 2000, Liquitex has been part of the Colart Group, along with Winsor \u0026amp; Newton and several other important manufacturing brands. Like Winsor paints (which were originally from the U.K.), most Liquitex products today are made at Colart's paint factory in France.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liquitex","offers":[{"title":"250 mL (8.5 oz) Tube","offer_id":46465628209410,"sku":"094376976472","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"473 mL (16 oz) Bottle","offer_id":46465628242178,"sku":"094376922943","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1.89 L (64 oz) Bucket","offer_id":46465628274946,"sku":"0887452032021","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.78 L (One Gallon) Bucket","offer_id":46465628307714,"sku":"0887452045175","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2228\/7429\/files\/lq-basics-gesso-16oz.jpg?v=1751544445","url":"https:\/\/stlartsupply.mom\/en-au\/products\/liquitex-basics-acrylic-gesso","provider":"St. Louis Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
