This is the only gesso I use, because it is so thick and creamy. Goes onto the canvas very well, and is great for blending.

Product Questions and Answers
How much water can be added to 32 oz.?
– Asked by glen on 11-Jan-14
Answer
This primer does not require additional water as it is made to the consistency to prime canvas. It can be thinned with water as desired. If adding directly to the container, it is recommended to add a small amount of water at a time and thoroughly mix prior to adding more water. Avoid over thinning.
