   A mixture of gesso (or chalk in the northern countries) and glue was used to prime the panels, the technique was known from Antiquity (described by Theophilus Presbyter).

   A canvas sized with rabbit-skin glue can be made tighter than with other alternatives—such as an acrylic-based gesso—because of the shrinkage. This type of canvas is also valuable because it can be sanded to a flatter texture, which allows the painter to achieve a finer level of detail than can be achieved with a typical acrylic gesso ground.
