Prepare Your Canvas Before Painting

The surface you paint on can have a significant influence on both the painting process and the finished artwork. Applying a canvas primer before you begin provides a prepared foundation for subsequent layers of paint.

Depending on the artist’s preferred technique and desired surface, primer may be applied in layers to build up the painting ground. Artists can retain some texture or prepare a smoother surface according to the requirements of the artwork.

The 500ml size is a convenient choice for students, hobby artists and studio use and can be used across multiple projects depending on the size of the canvases being prepared and the number of coats applied.

For art students, learning to correctly prepare a canvas is also an important part of developing good studio practice and understanding how different surfaces affect painting techniques.

Whether you’re preparing a stretched canvas for a new artwork or working on a suitable canvas surface for an art project, Dala Canvas Primer is a useful addition to your collection of painting mediums and studio supplies.
