Jasart Byron Gesso White

Jasart Byron Gesso White is a specialized primer used by artists to prepare various surfaces like canvas, wood, and paper for painting. The 'Byron' range is a sub-brand under the Jasart label, specifically positioned as an affordable yet high-quality option for students and hobbyists. It provides the necessary 'tooth' or texture for acrylic and oil paints to adhere effectively to the substrate.

The brand Jasart is Australian, owned by Jasco Pty Ltd, a company with a long history in the Australian art and stationery market. While the brand is designed and managed in Australia to meet local market needs, the manufacturing of the Byron range, including this white gesso, is typically outsourced to China to maintain its competitive price point. Jasco remains one of the largest distributors and brand owners in the Australian and New Zealand art supply sectors.
