You can prime canvas with it. So you would paint it over canvas cotton or whatever to make a good surface for the oil paint or acrylics. I've used it too for painting over paintings I don't like and want to paint over with something else. You can prime hard board to make a good painting surface. So really it is for preparing a surface for painting on.

Is this suiable for Oil painting?

I use the black gesso to cover the canvas and paint over in oils, works perfectly!

Is this product suitable for adult number painting as a primer ? Will the numbers be still visible?

Great gesso primer for use under oil or acrylic painting. Good body.
