Akryylialuskerrokset, often referred to as acrylic primers, are surface preparation materials used in painting and other art applications. They are water-based coatings that create a uniform and absorbent surface for subsequent layers of paint. Typically applied to canvas, wood, paper, or other rigid substrates, acrylic primers seal the material, preventing the topcoat from soaking in too deeply and thereby increasing paint coverage and vibrancy.

The primary function of an acrylic primer is to establish a stable ground for artistic work. It adheres well to various surfaces and provides a consistent texture, which can be important for achieving specific artistic effects. Different types of acrylic primers exist, including gesso, which is a traditional white primer, and colored primers that can influence the overall hue of the final artwork. Some primers are formulated to be transparent or semi-transparent, allowing the underlying texture or color of the substrate to show through.

Application of acrylic primers is usually done with a brush or roller, and multiple thin coats are often recommended for optimal results. Once dry, the primed surface is typically sanded or scuff-sanded to achieve a smoother finish, though some artists prefer a more textured primer. Acrylic primers are compatible with a wide range of media, including acrylic paints, oils, pastels, and inks, making them a versatile tool for artists of all levels. They are known for their quick drying time and easy cleanup with water, which contributes to their popularity in studios and educational settings.
