Hi all, Well today I am going to give a small tip on canvas prep. Many artists don't prepare the new canvases anymore. I find that I still prefer to use a gesso ground for texture. It also gives me a better ground. I sometimes will use a few layers, applied with a palette knife. When I begin to paint the texture will drive any washes I want to add. If you prefer not to prepare the canvas with gesso, try wetting the whole surface for better application. This is only for Acrylics! You will find that it will look "grainy", but you need to continue layering color, letting it dry in between layers. I hope this gives you a few things to experiment with....
Next time I will talk about my antique shop and some tips and info about antiques....Till next time, ENJOY LIFE~~
