Why Use a Primer Before Painting

Applying a primer is an important step in surface preparation. It helps seal the painting surface and reduces paint absorption. This allows colours to appear more even and vibrant. A good paint primer also helps extend the life of the artwork by creating a stable base coat before applying paint. These primers can be used on a variety of surfaces, making them ideal for DIY décor, art projects, and handmade gifts.

Acrylic Gesso for Art Projects

Acrylic gesso is a commonly used art primer that prepares surfaces for painting with acrylics and other media. It creates a smooth and slightly textured finish that helps paint adhere properly. Bluebird acrylic gesso can be applied to canvas, wood, boards, paper, and other suitable surfaces, providing a reliable painting surface for vibrant and lasting results.

How to Use Primers

Ensure the surface is clean and dry before starting. Apply the primer evenly using a brush or roller and allow it to dry completely. If required, a second coat can be applied for better coverage. Properly priming your surface helps achieve smoother brush strokes and better paint control, regardless of whether you are working on canvas, wood, or other painting surfaces.
