Don't use cornstarch! Gesso is supposed to keep the paint from rotting through your canvas, especially when you paint with oil. A lot of bacteria will eat through the oil and sooner or later the fibers of the canvas. Using cornstarch means the bacteria will simply consume that as well.. and in a few years your paintings need to be send for restoration. You want to use gypsum, because its absorben, but doesn't get eaten by the bacteria and fungi that will eat through oil and such. Sure you can get away with talcum powder (Baby Powder is usually just talcum with added perfume), but gypsum is used for a reason. The PVA will not protect the canvas if you use cornstarch. Maybe for Acrylic painting you can use cornstarch, but i would advise against that! If you do oil or water colors.

Where can you get gypsum? I live near white sand dunes that are made up of gypsum sand. Very clean. Can that be used?
@IshanDeston
@IshanDeston Жыл бұрын
@@slippersmomma You can get gypsum in any hardware store where its called Plaster of Paris. Gypsum is also sold as hardening agent for Portlant Cement, so your local hardware store should definitely have gypsum in some form or another. Just ask one of the clerks, they should be able to point you to it. Drywall compound should also work, as Drywall is usually made from Gypsum Boards. Gypsum is formed in marine environments where water evaporates, so it is possible your sand would work, but i never tried that and i don't know if additional processing steps would be needed. I would imagine that it would still need to be ground down? I dunno, about that. Oh and any Art store probably can also hook you up with gypsum.

Nice recipe. I don't do art painting, but I will give this a go for finishing objects of porous materials. I think I would be a little hesitant to use corn starch just because it's organic and could increase the likelihood of microorganisms breaking down the material over time. Starch is chemically one step away from being sugar, so with moisture it's going to be potential food for a lot of stuff. If the powder is mainly to dial in the consistency then might I suggest chalk? Maybe it's not a common household item, but it's cheap and has been used in paints throughout history for it's pigment and good adhesion properties, so I imagine it would fit in well in this composition.

Good question! Mod Podge Vs Gesso: Differences and Similarities One of the main differences between gesso and Mod Podge is the fact that one is a primer intended to be used as a layer of smoothness and strength for a surface, while the other is an adhesive that also doubles as a sealer for your craft projects.

I’m new to trying some canvas projects. Is gesso what I need to conceal the woven texture of a new canvas?

I loved this video! Sometimes I lose interest because it goes too slow. You clipped along at a fast pace and I really appreciated that.

Rebekka D. You can speed up the videos by clicking on the 3 vertical dots at the top right of your screen and select "speed". On a laptop/tablet select the wheel and then the speed selection.

Thanks a lot for sharing this recipe. One question, since I am not quite positive what you mean by school glue, could you use the wood glue instead? It seems to be of the same consistency. Thanks a lot.

This is SOOOO much cheaper than those ones that use PVA Primer. I don't even know why that would cost less than premade! Thank you so much.

Can you use apple barrel acrylic paint for the tablespoon or does it have to be the one that comes in those little tubes?

Thank you for this recipe. I just bought several canvases and wanted to give them extra coat of Gesso. Every time I think about a project, one of your videos pops up out of no where, with just what I need- how do you do that?? Can gesso be put on the backside of a canvas to strengthen it? If not, what would you recommend?

I work with both wood and clay pots. I plan to use the gesso on a wood project that I'm about to start, but do you think that it would work on clay pots?

Recycled all my paint by number paintings by turning them over, applied 2 coats of gesso, sanded then lightly misted the canvas, applied 1 coat of medium and white cheap dollar store paint, now I am ready to create art! I love my new hobby. Thanks everyone!

Do you have to have the white acrylic paint added to it or can you leave it as is with just the glue, baby powder, warm water
