Sennelier Abstract Gesso – 500ml Universal Acrylic Primer

Sennelier Abstract Gesso – 500ml is a universal white acrylic primer designed for use on all non-oily, pre-sized painting surfaces such as canvas, paper, and wood. This gesso enhances paint adhesion and provides a durable matte finish that increases surface tooth or texture. It can be applied directly or diluted with water (up to 20%) depending on your project needs.

Sennelier Abstract Gesso is also tintable—just pre-mix with acrylic paint to create custom-colored primers. Ideal for use with acrylics, oils, and egg tempera techniques, it's an essential base layer for artists seeking even coverage and fast drying time.

What sets it apart is its innovative, air-tight pouch packaging. Unlike rigid containers, this flexible pouch minimizes waste, eliminates air bubbles, and allows you to squeeze out every last drop. It’s ultra-portable, easy to store, and nearly indestructible—designed to handle the rigors of studio life.
