The Protective Benefits of Primer
Primer offers more than just a smooth base for painting—it provides essential protection for your surfaces. Acting as a sealant, primer prevents moisture, oils, and contaminants from seeping into the material, which can cause long-term damage. This is particularly valuable for porous surfaces like wood or canvas, where paint alone may not offer sufficient coverage. Primer also helps prevent cracking and flaking by enhancing the adhesion between the paint and the surface. For artists and DIY enthusiasts alike, using primer is an investment in the durability and quality of their projects. By safeguarding the surface and enhancing paint performance, primer plays a vital role in achieving beautiful, long-lasting results.

Not all primers are created equal, and understanding the different types can help you choose the best one for your project. Gesso is a popular choice for artists, providing a versatile base for canvas and paper that works well with acrylics and oils. For wood or metal, specialized primers seal the surface and prevent issues like warping or rust. Clear primers are ideal for retaining the natural texture or grain of the surface, while tinted primers can help match or complement the paint colour. Selecting the right primer depends on the material, the type of paint you’re using, and the desired finish. Each type serves a specific purpose, ensuring that your artwork or project is set up for success.
