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.

I had 1 question 🙋🏽 If I’ve drawn on a canvas already (and since I just learned about Gesso after that fact) could I apply gesso, and still see my sketch, so I can use it as an outline to paint 🎨 (like paint by numbers) was surprisingly hard to find an answer to this simple question❓ which you answer clearly, concisely, and simply. Not to mention all the other quality info. Thanks man, really appreciate it. 😊 🙏
@WildCreates2 ай бұрын
The reason you are having a hard time finding an answer is because it depends on the variables. Short answer is yes you can sketch then apply gesso. However I recommend testing it first to make sure you can see it. Variables like how thick the gesso is, how many coats you do, how thick or bold is the sketch will all be factors. Something like paint by number should be fine cause its bold and dark ink lines. If you gesso is covering your lines when you apply just add a little water to thin it down and you will be good to go.

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.

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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rK-cZMqHndbPqYE.html

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

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

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!
@WildCreates2 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.

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 Жыл 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.
