Interested in using Gesso? You can help me out by using the links in the video description Check 'em Out and thanks for the support :)

One additional tip on gesso (which I can't remember if it was in your other video): mix a bit of black into our white to make a light grey before you apply it on a white canvas or surface. That way, it is much easier to see if you have missed any areas with the liquid white when you apply it.

Hello Wild Creates, This video is a great help, just a question, I will be using wood as surface and acrylic for a look. Should I use Clear Gesso to prep the surface?

@WildCreates

Жыл бұрын

OK so tough to answer without knowing what you are going for with your style. If you will paint the entire thing. Go with white or black gesso. If you want to have the Wood part poke through the paint then you can do Clear Gesso or no gesso at all ( if you wan tthat more rustic look) I hope that helps

Would you prime the canvas with white gesso let it dry add your drawing and then add a layer of clear gesso over the top of you wanted to keep your line drawing? im a newbie 😊

@WildCreates

So couple answers here: 1) you can do what you put above BUT the drawing marks may start to wipe away when you start painting. 2) You can use something called FIXATIVE ( I think thats how you spell it ha ha ha). Its a spray you put on top of your drawing so paint/brush strokes don't wipe it away. 3) You can do a very lite Wash on top of your drawing. To learn more about that you can watch this video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p6V1mdFvqM2rqM4.html I hope that helps ya out... and if it did, you can pay me back by hitting that SUB button 🔥

Hello sir, its a nice video. Iam a absoluty beginner :D and it helps me to a wider view on painting. Here are my Questions: How long let you dry your canvas, if u use gray gesso and black gesso? Maybe its kind of wrong place, but how long let u dry a acryl black canvas before u use it for a painting? Ive found on the internet, that gesso needs 3 days and black acryl 7 days, but for me its a long long time so i thought, i just ask you ;). Thx and have a nice day!

It depends on how thick and how many layers - But most gesso dries in 15 to 30 mins ( depending on environment ). Always touch it to test before painting on it. This video might also help you out a little bit: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qH2gk8mPaNPRqbA.html

@WildCreates

Hard to answer because I can't see the stand. You wanna check to see if there is any finish on the stand ( aka a varnish, seal, lacquer finish, ETC ). IF their is you will want to rough and clean the surface so your paints/gessos has something to stick to. Hoppe that helps

1- you can draw on it if you like ( but I would test it first to see if you like it) 2 - Varnish, Clear Epoxy or some kind of skin safe crystal lacquer. You will want something that hold up to wear and tear. Do a little bit of research.

I have a black stretched canvas and am applying black gesso to cover tiny spots where the black flecked off. The gesso will be my background so it’s critical that no streaks or lines appear and it needs to appear matte. So far I’ve tried a soft synthetic brush. EPIC FAIL. A foam sponge roller. FAIL. And a foam sponge brush. SEMI FAIL. I’m so frustrated right now. Wondering if adding a hint of water OR gel medium to my foam sponge or roller would help. I’m desperate for some tips at this point. So frustrated! :,( Any help would be immensely appreciated!

@WildCreates

Жыл бұрын

Ok... So without being there I would say try this. When applying your gesso add a little bit of water to it. This will allow it to self level a bit ( aka less changes for brush marks ) HOWEVER, this can mean it will dry faster. So you will have to work fast when applying it. Be in a spot where there isn't a lot of heat nor air flow on the canvas... these will also speed up drying time... You may have to do 2 to 3 coats for your style If that doesn't work you can always try sanding your gesso once dry and doing a second coat Let me know how that works for ya.

Hey I need your help please i tried doing a sunset with gesso that bob ross does in a video and he puts crimson then i believe Indian yellow and some how the crimson doesnt show and the yellow shows as a little green but when applied the colors it make out looking more orange and red and this is before i even used the white to make it pop out. What did i do wrong? I put the gesso and waited about 40 minutes like he said and those colors just stayed on top of the gesso and mixed to make a pink when using white. Beginner painter and im so frustrated not knowing what i did wrong even when i copied step by step

Gesso is water soluble, so you can clean it with lurk warm water and some dish soap. That will work perfect. If you have more expensive gesso brushes, you can also condition them after too. Hope that helps.

Could you give us some advice on how to price our paintings ? I've got some I'm really pleased with and people say wow you should sell them. Well that's easier said than done but the question is how much should I charge ? I'm not professional I'm just a hobby painter so I don't need them to be that expensive as it's not my living but it's difficult to put a value on them .

Well it kinda depends on what you are trying to do and what materials you will be using. You might also need a product called a "fixative spray" for the tracing Short answer is you can do both BUT I would trace after the gesso. With that said I would do a small test. This way you will have a better understanding for your style Hope that helps.

Glad I could help you out and hopefully you got the answer you needed.

So, is this what Bob Ross means when he refers to his canvas as "double primed" ... Was he painting Gesso on the blank canvas twice before starting? I just assumed he was purchasing "double primed pre-stretched 18x24 canvas" from the store -- and the first step he took was applying the thin coat of liquid or magic white......

@WildCreates

9 ай бұрын

You can buy 2x or 3x primed gessoed canvas... But if you have buying cheap ones the gesso coating is weak or sparse ( which is why I reccomend adding an extra layer of gesso ) Bob most likely used high quality canvases... so the gesso coating on them was already good.

If I mess up a painting I scrape all the paint off then let the oil dry and cover it with black Gesso

@WildCreates

In Short Edward you can BUT it will become a practice canvas since gesso on top of oil leads to weak paint adhesion. Foe the proper way, watch this video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/paGJqKSaodqzn7g.html

Heavy gesso is the last one I talked about in the video. For building struct and texture. Was there something else you were looking for or wanted to know about it?

Hey, have you seen the documentary: "Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed?" You promote the Bob Ross products, of which the Kowalski family is getting rich from and the Ross family is getting nothing. I would certainly not promote a product where the originating family is being ripped off.
