DALER ROWNEY SYSTEM 3 WHITE GESSO PRIMER
White Gesso Primer has been specially developed as a low cost primer for use as a ground for acrylic and oil painting; it is ideal as a base for any large scale work where primer is required, for example large paintings, scenery and murals.
It requires no dilution, is adhesive and ideal for directly sealing of all semi-absorbent surfaces, before applying both acrylic or oil colour. Suitable for both interior and exterior applications, System 3 primer may be used on masonry, but not exterior wood surfaces.
It dries quickly to produce a matt white surface, Gesso makes the surface a little stiffer and prevents paint from soaking into the support (canvas, paper, wood, etc.), and it gives the surface a little more texture (called "tooth"), so the paint sticks better. This is easily sanded for highly detailed work. To tint Gesso Primer use Daler Rowney Cryla or System 3 acrylics.
Price per bucket.
