A classic titanium white acrylic ground to prepare your surface and add a high level of tooth.
Flexible, non-cracking and non-yellowing when dry. Provides the perfect "tooth" and adhesion to a wide variety of supports such as canvas, paper and wood. Excellent base coat primer for many applications such as murals. One coat is usually enough.
What it does
- Primes surfaces and adds a high level of tooth for maximum colour adhesion and stability
- Gives a matte white, opaque finish which provides a professional standard, archival base to help maintain the longevity of your work
- Stiffens your canvases and creates the optimum absorbency for paint application
- Establishes a good surface for preliminary charcoal or pencil drawings

Excellent. Just what I've needed for a long time.
Lots of priming going on and I'm pleased with the coverage.

Good coverage, smooth & easy to use

This has a nice density and covers canvas very well. It makes the surface of the canvas smooth and acrylic paint flows freely over it.
