Description

Dala Gesso Primer is an essential surface preparation medium for artists, art students and painters. Supplied in a practical 500ml container, gesso is used to prepare suitable surfaces before painting, creating a more consistent ground for the application of paint.

Priming your painting surface helps prepare it for artwork and provides a suitable base on which to begin building colour, texture and detail. It is particularly useful for artists working on canvas and other suitable art surfaces.

Dala Gesso Primer for Canvas & Painting Surfaces

Dala Gesso Primer is a valuable addition to an artist’s studio, especially when preparing surfaces for acrylic and other suitable painting techniques. Applying gesso before painting creates a prepared ground and can help provide a more uniform surface for your artwork.

It is suitable for:

• Preparing canvas before painting
• Artist canvas and canvas boards
• Acrylic painting projects
• Fine art
• Art student projects
• Mixed-media artwork
• Studio work
• Preparing suitable art surfaces
• Artists creating their own painting grounds
• Creative experimentation with texture and surface preparation

Prepare Your Surface Before Painting

Good surface preparation can play an important role in the finished artwork. Rather than beginning directly on an untreated surface, artists can apply gesso to create a prepared painting ground.

Gesso can be applied in layers depending on the surface and the finish required. Artists may choose to retain some surface texture or work towards a smoother ground depending on their preferred painting technique.

The 500ml size is convenient for art students, hobby artists and regular studio use, providing enough primer for multiple projects depending on the size and number of surfaces being prepared.

For students learning painting techniques, using a primer is also an important part of understanding how surface preparation can influence the painting process and final artwork.

Whether you’re preparing a new canvas, working on a canvas board or experimenting with mixed-media techniques, Dala Gesso Primer is a useful foundation product to keep among your painting supplies.
