Priming is the process of preparing a canvas or surface for painting by applying a base coat. Learn the benefits of priming including improved paint adhesion and color vibrancy, and shop different primers suitable for various painting mediums.

For those looking to learn the basics about primers and grounds, we recommend reading ‘Size, Primer, Gesso and Ground Explained’ on Jackson’s Art Blog. You can also read A Guide to Grounds to learn more.

A variety of primers are available to suit different needs, from traditional gesso for oil paints to specialized primers for watercolor and pastels. Our range includes high quality tinted primers, application tools, and surfaces to ensure your artwork begins with the perfect base.
