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.
