Painting on canvas and primer?

Painting on canvas paper?

  • hm i havn't painted on canvas paper before and was wondering if you needed to do something with it before painting on it with acryllic paints. such as when you use primer on drywall before painting it? that kind of example/ thing. thank you

  • Answer:

    Canvas is primed with gesso, but to answer your question, I don't think you need to gesso canvas-paper when using acrylics. They dry fast and don't sink into the surface, as oil does.
