Dem bones dem bones. How to prime Reaper Bones???

I only use black gesso for everything - brush on, it shrinks so don't worry about detail loss, leave for 24 hours to fully cure.

I will say this though - don't skimp, get Liquitex gesso, it's the best by a long long margin.

Liquitex Professional or Basics? I ask because I was wondering if the Professional offering had finer pigments or something like that and thus was more suitable for miniatures?

Anyone tried the clear gesso prep? Is it any good? How much transparent is it? I usually spray a coat of matte sealant on clear minis before painting them (if I want them partly painted or to just wash them).


btw, here are some Reaper Bones I've painted without priming:
