GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Canvas is traditionally sealed with a primer paint before a painting is made. Sealing, or priming, the canvas creates an even surface and protects the canvas. Unprimed canvas is not sealed and thus absorbs paint or other materials differently than primed canvas. Sometimes the term raw is used to describe surfaces that are left unprimed. Understanding the primer (or lack thereof) is important for subsequent conservation treatments. Gesso is an example of a primer.
NOTES
From: Ken Kelsey, Gail Davitt, Mary Ann Allday, Barbara Barrett, and Troy Smythe, Contemporary Art and Design at the Dallas Museum of Art, Teaching Packet, 1995.
Should this be merged with the CC note "Canvas"?
I am removing the routed tag and adding the completed tag as of March 7, 2017. The GDoc has been moved to Queta's folders for review.
