Prima Marketing Finnabair MIX MEDIA ART BASICS CLEAR GESSO

Finnabair Clear Gesso is a transparent, matte, water-based acrylic primer used in mixed media and art journaling. It acts as a protective, isolation layer that grabs paint, stamps, or inks without altering or hiding the surface's original design or color.

Core Features
Surface Preparation: Primes slick surfaces (like glass or resin) and absorbs into porous materials (like wood or fabric), preparing them for paints and mediums.
Provides Tooth: Adds a light, gritty texture to your canvas, allowing pastels, inks, and acrylics to grip better rather than sliding off.
Invisible Protection: Dries completely clear and matte. It allows your background papers, book pages, or stamped images to show through perfectly.
Color Customization: You can easily mix the clear gesso with your choice of acrylic paints or dry pigments to create your own custom-colored, matte primers.

Best Used For
Art Journaling & Scrapbooking: Seals journal pages to prevent ink bleed-through or heavy mediums from warping the paper.
Collage Work: Adheres pieces together and provides a uniform, workable tooth over mixed-media collages.
Stenciling & Mixed Media: Creates an invisible barrier so wet mediums (like sprays, mists, or oxide inks) apply evenly over your stencils without soaking into the background.

Tips for Application
Apply it thinly with a soft brush.
Let it air dry or speed up the process with a heat tool.
Once fully dried, it is permanent and flexible.
