Create a solid foundation for your oil painting with Utrecht Oil Priming White.    Handcrafted in Brooklyn, New York, Utrecht Oil Priming White is composed of titanium dioxide, zinc white, and calcium carbonate, all finely ground into a lean mixture of highest-quality linseed oil. It produces a bright, absorbent painting surface that's ideal for oil paints.   This concentrated, heavy bodied primer must be diluted with gum turpentine or odorless mineral spirits to achieve a perfect heavy cream consistency for coating.    Before priming, all canvas or panel surfaces first require either a natural sizing such as Utrecht Rabbit Skin Glue or a synthetic sizing such as Utrecht Acrylic Sizing.   Utrecht Oil Priming White is ready for painting within approximately two weeks when you apply a single coat or 21 days for double coatings.

Utrecht Rabbit Skin Glue - left angled view of 1 lb bag of Ground Glue granules

For centuries, painters have used rabbit skin glue to protect raw canvas fibers and panels from the disintegrating effects of fatty acids in oil-based colors and grounds. Handcrafted in Brooklyn, New York, Utrecht Rabbit Skin Glue is a top-quality, traditional canvas and panel sizing that exhibits excellent adhesion and barrier properties.    A flexible glue, Utrecht Rabbit Skin Glue dries with relatively little tension, but may swell when humidity increases and shrink when humidity decreases. Please note that over time, fluctuations due to atmospheric changes can cause cracking, but is less of a problem in controlled environments and is considered by some to be part of the charm of traditional oil painting.   Utrecht Rabbit Skin Glue is sold in a 1 lb bag of dried granules, along with complete instructions for preparation and use. One package covers approximately 18 square feet.
