Artist Testimonial
“I really enjoyed using the Liquitex Clear Gesso. I tend to use raw canvas and it’s a nice way to seal the canvas and a nice way to get washes using the inks and having kind of a nice underpainting and then sealing it working back into it.” - Mosho Olagunju (Instagram: @yournameissolong)
