Gesso Primers
Gesso primer is an essential undercoat for painting with oil and acrylic paints. Stretched canvasses and canvas panels are pre-primed with gesso. Some inferior brands have little or no gesso so always check, and use a recognised brand, or purchase a good quality gesso and prime the surface to your own satisfaction. Most if not all other surfaces such as wood, card, metal, etc. need to be primed with gesso primer.

An opaque white gesso to create the ideal absorbency, stiffness and adhesion for paint. Key Features

How to Use

- Sand hard or shiny surfaces first, apply a thin coat with a wide, flat brush and leave to dry for at least 24 hours before starting to paint
- To create a smoother base, sand the surface and reapply gesso
- If using as a base for oils, apply 2-4 coats and sand between applications
