How to Prime Wood for Acrylic Painting ?

Acrylic paints are known for their fast drying time, wide range of colors, and relatively low cost. But unlike oil paints or watercolor, acrylics are water-soluble. They will thin out when mixing colors with water and become less opaque. This is why starting with a thick, heavy body of paint is essential. The wider the paint, the more opaque it will be.

Hi, You can prime with acrylic medium like Golden GAC 100 or Fluid Matte Medium. Acrylic gesso would work, too.
