Liquitex Shop Art Supplies Editorial Review
**** The Liquitex BASICS Gesso has garnered overwhelmingly positive feedback from users, particularly beginner artists who are exploring various materials for their creative projects. Many have made a comparison with other brands, such as Daler-Rowney, noting a significant improvement in quality with Liquitex. Customers appreciate its smooth texture and lighter Consistency, which allows for effortless application and excellent coverage on canvas. Artists have reported that only a small amount of Liquitex gesso is needed to achieve the desired results, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run despite its slightly higher initial price point. Its compatibility with acrylic paints is another highlight, as it mixes well while allowing for a longer drying time, offering versatility in various painting techniques. Though there are occasional mentions of it being a bit thin for some preferences, the overall sentiment suggests that Liquitex BASICS Gesso is a reliable and superior option compared to many budget alternatives. Many users have expressed their loyalty to the brand, emphasizing that once they've tried Liquitex, they may not want to revert to their previous choices. **
