### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality
*by Z***8 on 12 January 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant varnish
*by K***O on 28 January 2026*

A brilliant product used on resources for EYFS children

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality gesso
*by M***Y on 2 October 2022*

This gesso is one of the best I've found. Liquitex is a lot darker and thicker than most. My only criticism is that it smells really strange, never had it before,quite strange. Works perfectly well though. I had 2 bottles and haven't opened the second one yet so will be interesting. Otherwise a good quality product for the price.
