Do you prime your canvases?

Are you in the habit of priming your canvas surfaces before you begin painting? If you haven't used a primer before, or never even heard of Gesso - let me tell you why it would be a good thing to invest in some for your paintings.

• Gesso primes your canvas surface, making application easier

• It helps prevent the canvas from absorbing the paint by creating a barrier between the two

• It improves the overall quality of your artwork and helps it last longer

Watch how this video shows the difference between a primed and non-primed canvas surface.
