Thank you so very much! I am an aspiring artist with failing eyesight, so it seems foolish of me to spend unneeded dollars on commercial gesso if I can reclaim failed paintings with your recipe! I am also 72 years old. Late to the calling, but truly enthusiastic and having loads of creative fun! Thanks again!

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

Actually failing eyesight can be turned to an advantage as we all should squint when painting so if you paint what you see don't try and paint what you think you see you will be amazed at what people may say

You can make your own calcium Carbonate with Egg shells from Chicken Eggs. You need a heavy duty blender or food processor. I would purchase one at a second hand store. Just wash and dry the eggs then grind then to a fine powder by pulsing the blender on and off. Just don't do to many egg shells at a time, because it will bind up the machine and burn out the motor. You need to remove and clean the blades each time you do this. You can also make side walk chalk with the ground egg shells. Leaving me to believe you may also be able to use regular children's sidewalk chalk for the Calcium Carbonate. In the US many times you can find Sidewalk Chalk at Flea markets in large Tubs for a dollar or two.

@kimberlymunday3217 3 года назад

In North America calcium carbonate can be purchased in bulk at pottery suppliers. It is used to make different clay. Hope that helps

I just bought a small jar of gesso costing $20.00 Canadian dollars. I will be making my own. Thank you for sharing.

@ProphetpuppetMtm 5 лет назад

I liked your detailed explanations about many things, for example as to why using distilled water, the difference between paints, and why the other recipes are not stable. I have been looking to find detailed info, and here I found it. Kudos to you. Thank you!

@annfield7356 4 года назад

Just recently found you and can't thank you enough for your advice. I use your "recipes" for Gesso and Pouring Medium and they are great. Happy to find a British artist as most are American and their products aren't always easy to find, also expensive. Also the Welsh accent reminds me of my Dad (Not that your'e that old!)

@kaygoski 3 года назад

Thank you for this great tutorial. I watched a number of different ways before hitting on yours as I need to cover a very large area of MDF for a backdrop and it needs to look like an old crumbling wall. Your video has saved me a huge amount of bother and cuts out using a lot of different shop products. Top marks !

@lass-inangeles7564 5 лет назад

What a joy to finally get some solid info on materials in gesso! I have to restore an old gilded carved jewelry box. I could get any info from museums like the Getty or Asian Art Museum in SF, and the conservators they directed me to, deliberately confused me with high priced products and misleading trails. Now I have it! This was so important, thank you!!

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

Most products can be made at home manufacturers want us to buy off them but artists have traditionally made there own

@thehappypotter9612 3 года назад

I made some according to this demo and it is fantastic. But I ground up calcium supplements that is past their sell-by date. My goodness, it is pure calcium carbonate with mint flavour!

@simonaghidoni5037 3 года назад

Thanks for making this video. I was wondering if the white paint that you are using is a sealer paint for priming houses ( limelock ) or a blackwhite paint used for finishing. I will be painting with acrylics on my homemade canvases made with linen and I am going to follow your gesso recipe. Could you please give me any suggestions?

I have a question please. How can I make the clear gesso I get at any local store more fluid?

@Catherine-nb1xv 5 лет назад

I just got 1kg of the calcium carbonate for just £3.99 off eBay (it was actually advertised at tortoise/reptile food). I have plenty of PVA, the same big tub of emulsion you have, so what a bargain price that much gesso will be, thank you 🙂

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

You never have to buy it again

From where can i buy chalk ? Can you tell me about website that sell chalk ? thanks

@minebrosstudios7925 4 года назад

I love your videos. Would Chalk Paint work as a base, therefore replacing the addition of grit?

@CLIVE5ART 4 года назад

Chalk paint water based that is is basically gesso

@miraconnolly8345 6 лет назад

You are lovely Clive. Love all your money saving tips. You sure you are not Scottish? Accent is good but maybe give us a singing demo next time to prove your Welshness.

@CLIVE5ART 6 лет назад

I sing like a sheep 😂😂😂

@shaunsart 4 года назад

So you use emulsion paint that is made for plaster type finishes on walls and ceilings. Surely using water based paint for wood is the way to go? Harder wearing and many are acrylic based. PVA might not even be needed with this. It will be dearer than emulsion but stronger I’m sure. Not a criticism but a thought to run by you.

@racheltaggart4676 4 года назад

Thank you for sharing these tips. If I wanted to make a more absorbent gesso for use with acrylic stains, could I just add either more calcium carbonate or marble dust? I find that commercial absorbent ground is really pricey and want to make my own. Where do you buy calcium carbonate and/or marble dust?

@CLIVE5ART 4 года назад

Www.clive5art.co.uk I sell it there

@mysticwolf11 4 года назад

Hello! Thank you for making these videos. This is perhaps a silly question, but once dry would a gesso recipe like this create a suitable surface for oil painting? I'm an art student and I've fallen in love with building frames, stretching canvasses, and gessoing surfaces, but commerical acrylic gesso here in the states is ~$25USD/gal, and that adds up when working with larger canvasses.

@CLIVE5ART 4 года назад

Gesso can be used with oils or acrylic

Clive can i paint with latex paints(eggshell) on canvas and sell the work.because these paints last long on walls

@CLIVE5ART 6 лет назад

They are not so archival but yes you can a lot of artists use them they are not so pigmented I would use them with normal paints that would help more

@loriagarcia8114 4 года назад

That paint was gel? So thick?

@moniquevanoord5047 6 лет назад

Thank you for your videos!!!! 👍I made Gesso with plaster of Paris and it got stoney after awhile. How do I avoid Stoney lumps?

@CLIVE5ART 6 лет назад

It can go lumpy that's why I don't use it but try mixing it to a thin paste before adding to the paint that my help

@moniquevanoord5047 6 лет назад

CLIVE5ART thank you. Here in Canada Calcium Carbonate is expensive. But if I find it at a better price - I’m going to give it a try.

@CLIVE5ART 6 лет назад

I wonder why that’s is chalk is chalk

@ama6978 4 года назад

Can you i know the grams of chalk, pva glue and water ? Thanks

@patriciamelton6810 4 года назад

Could you use Carbodium (I think that's how you spell it)? It's also called Tripoli rock. The only place in the world it is mined is in my home town. I can get as much as I want free. It's like chalk.

@EmmaMorgan09 5 лет назад

I recommend VALSPAR premium Matt emulsion as the pigment and density is far superior to Dulux or crown..👍🏻

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

I tend to agree with you on this as I have just started to use valspa

@EmmaMorgan09 5 лет назад

CLIVE5ART it really is good. BUT the premium paint (gold pot) is not available in tester pots any more.

@fatie7466 3 года назад

Is calcium carbonate in the video is same to calcium carbonate like garden lime or limestone powder?

@SuperXrunner 5 лет назад

I found online that they dont use latex in paint anymore...its all acrylic now

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

That’s not totally true it is used but I think it’s getting less normally only in house paints these days

@ladymuck2 6 лет назад

surely acrylic paint is polymer/plastic and latex house paint will have latex/ rubber in it?

@CLIVE5ART 6 лет назад

Correct latex paint is used in house paint and it degrades faster that’s why we need to re decorate regular artist paint is polymer resin they can be mixed and used together the true archival properties are unknown

@Lw88ful 4 года назад

@neilbuckley610 4 года назад

@mynameisjo1949 5 лет назад

Calcium carbonate, latex paint, pva glue. I have lots of chalk sticks, Elmer's glue...will that work? Also, can I just boil water or use REverse Osmosis water?

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

Elmer's is PVA . No need to filter your water just boil let cool same thing

@niimo_art 5 лет назад

@Acet_One 5 лет назад

hi! im just starting out with acrylics, but im a construction painter. so here my question: why should you use gesso? acrylics for professional painters in constrution are made out of acryl, pigments and fillers (calcium carbonat) and they cost around 4-5$ per kg. i dont talk about the cheap stuff u find in ur local hardware store, but professional level paint. where is the difference and why cant you use that paint to gesso you piece? thank you in advance :)

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

Pro contract paints are higher pigmented yes I agree. The gesso is used more as a rough surface for artist acrylic to be able to hold on too it's a process that has been used even for oild. It's more about the paint finish flow and archival properties. If your happy using your method then go for it .. I only show what is proven to work

@Acet_One 5 лет назад

@@CLIVE5ART thank you for your answer! i didnt meant to say like the construction paint is better or something like that, but when i reread the comment, it sounds like it^^ i was just confused haha

@rhondagdesignsrhondagwellm4337 5 лет назад

Did you get a discount on the paint because it's lumpy?

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

Lumos don't matter as long as you always stir well before use that counts for all gessos as it settles

@RameyRocks 4 года назад

If I understand you correctly, you don’t recommend using acrylic paint? What if I need black gesso? Just add black paint? Will the other ingredients make it gray? I’m just now learning how to use oil paint to paint the Bob Ross style. Actually, I’m just now learning how to paint, period. So far, I have taken one class a month for the past 3 months. I want to save as much money as possible as I do not have much money to spend on hobbies unfortunately.

@CLIVE5ART 4 года назад

Use just plain Matt interior house paint and add chalk and pva

@jayelleart 5 лет назад

I found a white glue (school glue) that is acid free but the packaging doesn't say PVA. No ingredients at all. Would that be PVA glue? I will contact the store to try and get an answer about ingredients.

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

Most school glue and woodworkers glue is PVA

@jayelleart 5 лет назад

CLIVE5ART thanks!

@beckyquick4025 6 лет назад

Clive, can you omit the white paint if you want clear gesso? isn't plaster of paris calcium carbonate? thanks for video. could you tell us what the grams would be in cup or spoon measurements? love your informative tutorials such as this one.

@CLIVE5ART 6 лет назад

Ok simply cheaply you can add 4 cups of pva add 1/4 cup water add little at a time you want it like a cream add 1 cup of chalk or plaster it will look milky but will dry clear

@cherylhobbins-johnson434 5 лет назад

Can you use diatomaceous earth in place of calcium carbonate?

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

For those who don’t know Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring sand extracted from the earth. It consists of microscopic skeletons of algae, known as diatoms, that have fossilized over millions of years There are two main types of diatomaceous earth: food grade, which is suitable for consumption, and filter grade, which is toxic to humans but has many industrial uses. So it’s best to stay with what’s been used for 100s of years and works which is chalk
