Zellen Black Canvas Primer

Zellen Black Canvas Primer provides a rich, matte black surface for oil and acrylic painting. Artists use it to prime canvases, boards, and paper, creating dramatic backgrounds and enhancing colour contrast. Because it’s made from high-quality acrylic resin, it dries quickly and forms a flexible, durable film.

Moreover, the primer contains strong pigment strength, which ensures deep coverage and consistent tone. Its slight tooth improves adhesion, allowing paint layers to grip the surface without slipping. Additionally, it resists cracking and supports both brush and palette knife techniques.

Painters appreciate its ability to reduce glare and highlight vibrant colours. Whether you’re working in realism or abstract styles, this primer sets the stage for bold compositions. Furthermore, it suits mixed media and collage work, offering a stable base for layering.

Available in 500ml tubs, it adapts to small studies or large-scale projects. Artists value its South African origin, affordable price, and studio-friendly formulation.
