Zellen Clear Gesso Surface Primer

Zellen Clear Gesso Surface Primer offers a versatile base for acrylic and oil painting. Artists use it to prime canvas, wood, glass, ceramic, and plastic surfaces. Because it’s clear and matte, it preserves the original surface while adding texture for better paint adhesion.

Moreover, the primer contains acrylic resin, forming a flexible film that dries hard and slightly rough. This light tooth improves grip for dry media like pastel, charcoal, and pencil. Additionally, it mixes well with pigments, glitters, and powders, making it ideal for mixed media projects.

Apply it with a brush or foam roller in thin, even layers. Allow each coat to dry before adding another. Artists appreciate its ability to seal porous surfaces and prevent paint from soaking in. Furthermore, it supports layering, glazing, and collage techniques.

Available in 120ml and 300ml tubs, it suits both small crafts and large-scale artworks. Whether you’re prepping a canvas or customizing a sculpture, this primer delivers consistent results. Proudly made in South Africa, it’s a studio essential for creative versatility.
