Mont Marte Premium Gesso 500ml – White Painting Primer

Prepare your painting surfaces for professional-quality artwork with Mont Marte Premium Gesso 500ml (16.9 US fl.oz), a high-quality, water-based universal primer designed to create a smooth, bright white and absorbent surface for painting. Ideal for artists, painters, students and DIY enthusiasts, this premium gesso helps prepare different surfaces for acrylic and oil painting, providing a suitable foundation for your creative projects.

Mont Marte Premium Gesso features an opaque white formula with a semi-gloss finish, helping create an even painting surface while reducing the visibility of the natural texture of canvas, cardboard and wood. When applied to pre-primed canvas, it helps produce a smoother and more uniform surface, allowing paint to flow more freely instead of settling into the weave of the canvas.

This versatile white gesso primer can be applied to canvas, cardboard and wood, making it suitable for various fine art, craft and mixed-media applications. Its acid-free formulation also helps reduce acidity levels in paper and wood supports, supporting the longevity of your artwork.

For best results, apply two thin coats using a suitable gesso brush, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. You can also use a palette knife to create additional surface texture. The primer becomes touch-dry within approximately 2 hours, although thicker applications may require additional drying time. Brushes and tools can be easily cleaned with water.
