Dala Canvas Primer 1 Lt

This product is a pure acrylic, high PVC (pigment volume content) canvas primer. It is water based and may be diluted with water or Dala Acrylic Glaze Medium. Canvas Primer is used to prepare your canvas and make it receptive to paint. It can also protect the canvas against certain paints. Canvas preparation is a personal activity. Some artists choose not to take prepare their surface and prefer to paint straight onto the raw canvas. They enjoy the natural texture of the canvas and treat this inherent texture as a component of the medium, rather than a mere surface. This technique is fine when using acrylic paint, but could be disastrous for oil painters.

• Paint the primer directly onto the canvas and allow it to dry.
• Paint a second layer at a right angle to the first layer.
• This process may be continued, until you have achieved the surface you require.
