White Gesso 500ml: Professional Acrylic Primer for a Smooth, Bright Painting Surface

The White Gesso 500ml is a premium acrylic primer used to prepare surfaces before painting. It creates a bright, smooth, and slightly textured ground that helps acrylic or oil paints bond better, appear more vibrant, and last longer. Whether you’re working on canvas, MDF boards, paper, wood, fabric, or craft surfaces, this gesso ensures that your colors glide on beautifully while maintaining excellent stability.

Artists love White Gesso because it provides a balanced absorbency—not too slick, not too rough—making it perfect for layering, blending, glazing, and detail work. It also prevents paint from soaking too deeply into the surface, allowing you to use less paint and achieve richer color payoff.

Its 500ml size offers great value for artists who frequently prepare multiple surfaces or work on medium to large canvases. Smooth to apply, fast-drying, and non-toxic, it’s perfect for studios, classrooms, and home setups.
