I often paint with oils in my sketchbooks; here is a demo of how I apply gesso on the pages. I prepared two pages to paint skin color combinations for a painting course available on my website: cesarsantos.com/

7:50 - "let the final layer, begin!" "Hehe..." So refreshing to see a grown man having innocent fun like that while doing what they love and helping/inspiring thousands of people in the process. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge Cesar, it's really helpful 🙌

@StrawberryLegacy 2 года назад

For a student even cheap canvases can be quite expensive, plus they take up a lot of space in a small flat. So I'm very grateful that you can paint on paper as well and have been doing it for a while 😊

@alc3781 4 года назад

I like this technique. I draw with pencil directly on the paper, spray some fixative. Then clear gesso over the drawing

1:50 stretch paper a lil before gesso 3:20 4:40 sand each gesso layer to create some tooth so 2nd and 3rd layer can stick 8:50 sketchbooks from years ago with no cracking, this gesso he uses is very flexible and won’t crack as much as oil ground

@arttutorials2415 4 года назад

Gene when I tried this and began my acrylic under-painting (not oils) the paper buckled and was wavy, uneven. I had taped it down really well. It was thick heavy professional drawing paper. ... Any ideas of what I may have done wrong?

@stretch8390 3 года назад

@@arttutorials2415 I agree. I've tried a few different papers now and it's still buckling :( The paper he's using must be really, really thick.

@crisalidathomassie1811 3 года назад

I use mixed media paper or watercolor paper. It works great and the surface is smooth. If your paper is thin you need to gesso both sides. I put a last coat of acrylic paint, brown or gray and it is good to go. I hope this helps. Blessings and be safe.

@northernhemisphere4906 2 года назад

you can have a water wash applied to paper beforehand to further stretch it before applying gesso. it would require you to have a pretty thick paper though, 300 gsm(grams per square meter) and up.

You are my favourite painter on RU-vid Cesar!! When I start making some money from my art, first thing I'll do is to donate some money or gift you one of my Paintings, as a gift for being the best painter/art teacher on RU-vid!!! ❤️

@antonyhalls5322 4 года назад

You are an inspiration, Cesar. I love your classic approach to portraiture. I am going to apply this to my work and intend to purchase some of your videos. My 4th Great Grandmother's younger brother was Marquess William Grimaldi. He was a miniature portrait painter in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Mainly painting watercolour on ivory or enamel on copper. I own one of his enamels. I have not used oils very much, so want to give it a try. I am a sculptor by profession, but still love to paint. Have now subscribed to your channel. Loved your interview with Andrew Tischler.

Tu eres mi héroe! Cuando yo sea grande quiero ser como usted! (I’m 57) pero fuera de bromas, I practice a lot, 5 six hours. on days I gotta work (gotta eat) at least 3 hours. 7 days a week 365 days a year. Me encanta su pintura, no entiendo lo contemporáneo. Art that takes garbage & calls it art in order to get money isn’t art, it’s a scam. Caesar Santos is the real deal! A true artist

What a grand idea also to make a book to record each color I love that I've mixed along with notes of all the colors used to make it. Examples: sky and cloud colors ..... flesh tones .... water in seascapes .... dunes .... etc.

@chawk4839 4 года назад

ive been using oil based wood Primer on paper as a base for oil paint, for more than 30 years now. it must be the primer, not undercoat. you can mix the oil paint with it to get a nice start to a painting, it dries in a few hours and takes following layers very well. ive not tried gesso yet.

@anniex5233 3 года назад

Do you have recommendations for type of wood primer?

@EthanS1481 4 года назад

Easiest and quickest way to apply gesso on paper is with a simple foam roller. Takes exactly 20 seconds, and I apply it multiple times. No knife or brush marks. Crazy smooth surface

@LynnePriceStudio 4 года назад

I use a foam roller from Lowe's, one of the 4-inch ones. Works so well!

@stretch8390 3 года назад

Might seem an obnoxious suggestion but have you tried using the longest brush possible standing at the furthest distance and lifting up the canvas and palette as much as tolerable? I find the smell to be worse when you're directly above, or close, to it. Hope you have success outside!

The drying tume if oils in a sketchbook would put it out of action for a while. Guessing you'd have to have a couple spare... Looking into painting on stretched paper as I don't have any more wall space for canvasses.

@jerryschwimmer8559 4 года назад

Thank you for introducing me to oil painting on paper. I used to stretch my own canvas and linen. I love the effect produced. Using a spatula to spread the gesso has worked well. I am using Arches 140 # cold press water color paper and am pleased with the results. Finished art is is varnished with Gamsol. My question is this,... How do I display and mount for hanging ? Finished art is 11 x 14" or 18 x 24" or 15 x 22," much larger than other demos I've seen on You Tube. Thank you again Ceasar.

@flyfisherman3649 Год назад

I you wanted tooth you can use Golden Acrylic Ground for Pastel. I use it all the time and since you have thick pages you will not encounter any issues what so ever. Applying this ground you can also use a variety of different mediums if you like and have excellent "tooth". When I apply the ground I add different color to the ground for different background colors.

@michelledahl146 4 года назад

Do you have tips on choosing sizing? I believe rabbit glue is the oldest used, but it absorbs moisture from the air. I'm stumped between Gamblin PVA which seems more flexible, or Golden GAC 400 followed by 100 which would make it more rigid. Does it come down to personal preference?

@mrtablt3069 4 года назад

With 3 layers of gesso, did you feel different isolation when you had tried on different types of paper? The oil dries much earlier depending on the absortion of the paper, or with gesso there is no discernible change?

@alfonsopenalvermolina1863 Год назад

Hola César, gracias por el video. Y si mi idea es pintar con acrílico, tambien se debe preparar? lo digo porque al no llevar aceite, no hay peligro con el papel, o es necesario tambien dar gesso para que la hoja sea más consistente? gracias de antemano

Isnt gesso like chalky after it dries? Would gessi also be used for water color? Golden has a base gel to make acrylic would it work better to make a binder or thickener for any mica paint water color or oil?
