Surface Preparation

Surface preparation is an important part of the painting process, helping to ensure your colours have great adhesion, as well improving the longevity of your artworks. Gessos and primers can also be a great way to add to, or change, the texture of your surface before painting! At Eckersley’s, we have you covered for all your surface preparation needs with a range of sealers, gessos, primers, and more from Australia’s best-loved brands.
