Product Questions and Answers

Ask a Question

Can this product be applied over a painted surface and preserve the painting below?

- Asked by james baker on 24-Apr-14

Answer

Typically gesso is applied first as a surface primer before painting. It contains particulates to create a tooth for media application to the prepared surface. As a clear gesso, the painting below stays visible and may be painted over. However, gesso is not intended to preserve a completed work. Liquitex Acrylic Varnish is designed to protect completed paintings.
