Gesso Primer is used to prepare raw canvas, card or paper for painting. It seals the surface so that the paints can sit rather than soak into the painting surface. Gesso primer has a chalky texture and can be sanded to make it smooth. The primer is available in black or white, as well as a clear version which can be tinted with a colour of your choice.
