I am painting in acrylics.

Please email The Artist’s Magazine at [email protected] and include “Ask the Experts” in the subject line. Will it be advisable then to apply a third layer of Gesso, or two layers should do the trick? Hope this helps, Will, Great!!

Where and When?

Especially the gesso paper pads. When you apply diluted, watery paint, it’ll absorb through the packed dirt (the gesso) and, once it gets to the sand (the watercolor paper), it will be sucked up.

As with paints, the difference between the two is dependent on price.

Really pleased to hear you’ve been finding the articles helpful, “how can fix a canvas before applying gesso like how to hold the canvas in place”. What does one consider when choosing a tint. I am using a charcoal pencil. Gesso is like a layer of packed dirt on top of it.

Acrylic Gesso shouldn’t dry your Oils, how much turpentine or thinners are you adding to your Oil paint? Anyway…I bought some ‘used’ canvases recently and have no idea what kind of paint is on them. Do I need to prime it again with gesso to ensure that the paint that I paint on it does not crack when it is rolled up, stored and unrolled again? If you are painting with an acrylic underpainting using an acrylic gesso is the best choice. I am a beginning artist… I need some advice.

Liquid white & liquid clear are brand names made famous by Bob Ross, who often applied a coat of ‘liquid white’ onto the canvas to work the paint wet into wet. Will, I can not draw a convincing stick figure!

I have been looking for this information! That’s all I want. The bottle is always tightly closed after use. How long does it take to dry Mod Podge? Hi Rebekka, you can paint oil paint ontop of acrylics, but not acrylic paint over oil. Gesso is the same as a primer, as in ‘pre-primed canvas’. Now consider Yupo. When I try a new painting on the gesso canvas it started to Pitt on me.

My last question is, when you are applying gesso, does it matter what brush you use, or can you just use any brush? I always recommend a coloured ground to start on as it helps to take the fear out of starting the painting and takes away the glare of the white. I am painting with oils on a canvas that I stretched and gesso’d myself for the first time. Will a light wash give it a lighter, hazy look or will it smear the work? You sound like your ready to take the leap into canvas now. Cookie Statement Terms & Conditions. Hi Wendy, here is a simple demo on how to stretch a canvas so you can see how the different elements all work together. if so what size do you recommend? Is there something I can do to make the canvas acceptable for oil.

This is where gesso comes to the rescue with its ability to add both absorbency and tooth (surface texture). I understand its purpose now, but wonder why would one tint it. I need to prime some large canvases (at least 11 canvases, each 4 x 2m) – how far can I expect gesso to go? Pleased to hear you enjoyed the article. Can I roll up the painting after using gesso or will it be to stiff? Thanks Will for that info, there is also in a hardware store ,a powder gesso, which may be better.

I tried a wooden paint stirring stick but it literally broke in half and I had to fish it out as it was too thick to do by hand. No, as it’s a ‘pre-primed’ canvas it has already been primed with gesso.

This morning, I was working away drawing on my idea with a pastel pencil and I noticed that every now and then the black paint wants to peel off’. What paintings should I hang up in my room as a reminder that I don’t sleep in it often because it gets hot all year round. Hi Alan, if you’re using oils you need to size the canvas, if you’re using acrylics you don’t. Hi Irene, You just need to add in some water to the paint.

You can sand gesso between coats to create a lovely smooth finish, especially handy for photo-realistic paintings, just sand each layer with a fine sandpaper. The student quality will have a lower quantity of pigment and more filler.

I wanted to be able to put new layers on specific areas and wanted the paint soak in after rubbing the brush sometimes. Hi Lydia, the main reason not to work onto of oils is adhesion and to allow the oil to cure fully. It feels dry within an hour, but I wouldn’t hang up a project or use it until it’s been dry for 24 hours. “Pre-primed”  means “pre-gesso” It already has a gesso layer applied in the factory. On the other side acrylic gesso is drying my oil colours!! Many thanks for your patience and generous knowledge!
