Prime any surface to accept oils with this water-based foundation coat

Oils layer cleanly, acrylics adhere without beading, and even pencil and ink find proper grip.

Application differs from typical gesso. Use foam applicators or cloth rather than brushes to achieve the smooth, even coating that prevents unwanted texture from interfering with your painting technique. Thin with water to adjust consistency for your surface. Once dry, the primer becomes waterproof and stable, ready for whatever medium you're working with, from traditional Bob Ross landscapes to mixed media experiments.

Each 16-ounce bottle covers substantial surface area, making it practical for preparing multiple canvases or large panels. The versatility means one primer handles your entire range of substrates and techniques, whether you're preparing stretched canvas for wet-on-wet oils or sealing cardboard for acrylic studies.
