Step 1: Add 9 ounces of water. Step 2: Add 4.5 ounces of pva glue Step 3: Mix well Step 4: Pour into new container and stir again Step 5: Add 250 grams of Calcium carbon (chalk) into seperate beak Step 6: Slowly add it into liquid while mixing Step 7: Repeat step 5 and 6 (total of 500 grams) Step 8: Add 120 mL of paint to liquid Step 9: Mix liquid (if you want thicker, add more of the chalk) Step 10: Mix till consistency you prefer (He used approximately 750 grams). Step 11: Store well Now you got Homemade Gesso. Thanks for the video!

I just buy a 5 gallon of PVA primer, then add a gallon of flat ceiling paint to it, (or a mix of 5 to one) done. Lasts me for about 30 or 40 canvases. The art market would have you believe they put magic turds into their stuff, but its just simple flat latex paint with a PVA additive.

@karenfortuna5172 3 года назад

Clive, just a question concerning the PVA Glue - In the US, we usually use Elmer's Glue-All, but I know it has a slightly positive Ph level and acidity. The concern is that it could eventually turn yellowish in the finished artwork, especially in areas of white paint. Is your PVA Glue a bookbinder's glue, or is the UK PVA glue a different formulary from the US's PVA?

@alyssaotter9954 4 года назад

Thank you so much! I started playing with acrylic paint and currently am very low income. The tips you offer are so helpful and replace things I thought I needed like Mixing Medium and Gesso when the ingredient are so much cheaper! Thank you thank you thank you!

@terrilynnstalvey1416 5 лет назад

Helpful re gesso and use of digital scale with zeroing out. Thanks again Clive

@josephlowry4320 4 года назад

Great lesson Clive, I'll try to remember to make my own Gesso, God bless and have an great evening.

@chrisrogers1327 8 лет назад

Loving your homemade gessos & modeling paste tutorials!! Thank you for your well thought out & executed tutorial videos. By any chance, have you made your own crackle paste yet? If so, I'd love to see how you do it. Thanks again.

@JustQuixa 7 лет назад

Great information! I never thought to make my own gesso. Will try this when I run out! Question for ya - can we use student grade white paint (instead of artist quality) to tint the mixture or would the extra binders and junk cause an issue? I have so much leftover student grade titanium laying around from early learning lol Thanks for your channel! :)

@CLIVE5ART 7 лет назад

Do use expensive stuff student grade is fine even house hold emulsion can be used, thank you 😊

@CLIVE5ART 7 лет назад

@margaritasilva708 3 года назад

@marydennis1510 7 лет назад

Thank you didn't realise you had a shop as just brought some from Amazon as I saw your video on texture paste so thought would give it a go. I shall certain,y buy from you next time and will pass on to my mixed media crafts no friends your video as we all think the pre brought stuff is expensive. Loved your videos so easy to follow..

@CLIVE5ART 7 лет назад

Thank you 😊 it's so expensive and overrated making your own saves £££

@davevanfunk8917 5 лет назад

Tried doing this. Measure the H2O and PVA glue carefully. Mixed thoroughly. Was only able to mix it 400 grams of the calcium carbonate. Even at the first 250 grams, the mixture got really thick - I could stand the wisk up in it. Put in half of a 62 mL tube of paint. I tried gessoing a wood panel with it; the mixture is very translucent. Can I fix the glop I've made or do I start over? Help!

@rubengenesis100 4 года назад

Thank you for sharing.

@sleepless974 3 года назад

Can you buy chalk (the ones used to write on boards) and just crush it and add it to the mix?

@ginhavandoorn6571 4 года назад

CLIVE I'M NEW HERE and was delighted to find your site. I saw your video of the 5 musts before painting with acrylic, as well as the one with the reipe for making gesso and have one question: I already have gesso, so do I just mix it with water and use like that, or does it require mixing white paint into it? I understood that to make the Gesso, one had to mix the calcium carbonate with water, PVA glue and white acrylic paint, but what do we need to do when we already have the gesso? Still need to mix it with water, glue and paint? Would appreciate an answer so that I don't mess everything up Many thanks Ginha - Portugal

@Purplexity-ww8nb 6 лет назад

Could you use a colored acrylic paint to give it a good base color? Also, do you have a cost estimate for the quart or so of homemade Gesso you produced?

@CLIVE5ART 6 лет назад

You could yes I guess the price depends on the materials you can buy it’s difficult for me as I’m in the UK and unsure of the prices around the world

@thefrugalcrafter 8 лет назад

Clive, do you think I could add plaster of Paris to thicken economy grsso that is too thin? I want a thicker gesso:) thanks!

@thefrugalcrafter 8 лет назад

I was also thinking about leaving the lid off the gesso for a few days to thicken it too. what is the best option?

@CLIVE5ART 8 лет назад

+thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich hi Lindsay how surprised I am been wanting to talk for a while but you know I'm shy I tried plaster of Paris but found it did not work so well not sure why I know they are similar things but I believe other things have been added to plaster of Paris that's why I use just plain calcium carbonate or chalk it's fine ground stores well and never given me any problems but give it a try let me know what your findings are Contact me via messenger if you wish would be good to colab one day all my best Clive

@CLIVE5ART 8 лет назад

+thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich I can't really comment on shop bought products I do know they settle they do evaporate but I'm unsure if that will thicken then it's possible but may lead to contamination from air Bourne particular or my cat lol I make mine because I control the thickness of it being latex based a skin can form if I leave mine open for long periods Clive

@marydennis1510 7 лет назад

Can you use talcum powder instead of calcium carbonate?

@CLIVE5ART 7 лет назад

You can try but calcium carbonate does have more bite you can get it on eBay or my shop at www.clive5art.co.uk

@debbiemitchell6055 7 лет назад

M Rayner I believe here in USA we have to use talc, (like in baby powder) was thinking possibly buying white chalk and pulverize into powder... The measurements should be the same with white talc. (Makes me wonder if that ingredient is used in explosive devices here)

@CLIVE5ART 7 лет назад

Talk is just very fine chalk it's not used in explosives that's a different chemical

@nolid7843 7 лет назад

um ~ i don't think so. talc is magnesium while calcium carbonate is calcium. talc might work for ground but i don't think it's the same thing as chalk. since calcium carbonate is basically antacid/calcium supplement it's probably a good idea to check the health food store or a supplements store like Vitamin Shoppe. i honestly think u can crush up school chalk and get enough for a small batch. back to school's soon which means we can get back to school clearance for pennies on the dollar. if i spot school chalk for cheap(like those crazy 80% off and penny sales) i'll give it a shot. gesso's ridiculously expensive for what it is.

@dwightfontenot9064 5 лет назад

Good lord, I think I'll just go buy the gesso.

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

Expensive hobbie buying paint you can make yourself in bulk tho

@yourfashiontopshop1 4 года назад

Thank you for your recipe. I saw other recipes with baking soda. I tried one of them, but I didn't like the results. May be I did something wrong, but I am wondering if it is ok to use baking soda instead of calcium carbonate?

@rositarodriguez1224 5 лет назад

I wonder if Elmer's washable school glue can be used for this. Thanks!! Really appreciate your tutorials.

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

All pva glue is washable or should I say wipeable

@emisode 4 года назад

Thank You for your videos! Real help, Now do I have to use destilled water for gesso?

@CLIVE5ART 4 года назад

I always boil my water and let cool just what I do

@winniethepoodle 3 года назад

so 1 part PVA, 2 parts water, and 4 parts powdered chalk? I am making a quiche while I watch this so I might have mixed up the ratios. Also what are your thoughts on using plaster of paris or baby powder instead of chalk? Those 2 items are easier for me to find than powdered chalk.

@1karolj 7 лет назад

thank you so much for sharing your receipe...gesso is so expensive now and days. can you possibly did a video on creating "heavy gesso?" thank you again. love your videos.

@CLIVE5ART 7 лет назад

Heavy gesso ??

@ayellessnuffelhoek 6 лет назад

Could you do a video of a light/medium weight medium (that dries transparent)? Would be awesome

@CLIVE5ART 6 лет назад

Just use elements glue or school glue it’s latex based but fine thin no more than 30% with a water

@martygarlandart 5 лет назад

Good idea Clive but I'm not sure the PVA is ph neutral, would this have an effect on the longevity of any painting on top of this surface

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

It’s basically a resin as far as PH it’s not that technical PVA is a polymer vinyl acetate and if very stable it’s used as a glue and sealer in all industries from building to decoration it’s thinned down with water to make mod podge for art and design so I would assume the PH is ok. If you unsure use acrylic resin but that is very expensive and is basically the same with a few differences. PVA is used in a lot of domestic and art supplies Hope this helps

@blimaspetner2867 6 лет назад

I used baby powder and it keeps clumping . Is it normal that each time I want to use it I have to mix it vigorously?

@CLIVE5ART 6 лет назад

Baby powder is not the best it can be used but it’s a talc too fine and very unstable chalk is best but if you use it mix to a smooth paste first then add the paint slowly until you get the thickness but it will separate and needs stir every time before use

@blimaspetner2867 6 лет назад

hmm I wonder if I should just throw it out then. Thank you for replying

@bethbartlett5692 6 лет назад

Can I use this on my stretched canvas?

@bethbartlett5692 6 лет назад

@KarenParkerArtist 7 лет назад

How archival is the PVA? Both in terms of acidity and eventual brittleness? I know the cal. carb. is fairly inert, along with the acrylic paint.

@CLIVE5ART 7 лет назад

Well I've been told it's fine but there is no way to know for sure as it's only been around for 50 years or so

@CLIVE5ART 4 года назад

It’s exactly the same don’t be fooled in thinking shop is better than home made it only the shops want you to buy from them artist have been making and mixing paint for 100s of years so it’s something I have learned. To save money

@omersiddiq8095 8 лет назад

Hello Clive! thankyou for these amazing tutorials. Sir i wanted to ask you that when my painting got dried there were cracks formed between it. And it even started fading. Is it only because i didn't used gesso before painting?

@CLIVE5ART 8 лет назад

+Omer Siddiq possible but sounds like over thinning of your paint with water or a poor surface

@joannaskor316 8 лет назад

the cause of fading could also be because of colours that were not lightfast.

@CLIVE5ART 8 лет назад

as far as i know acrylics are light fast only water colours are fugitive

@joannaskor316 8 лет назад

That's actually not true, sir. It's not the medium that makes something fade, it's the colour itself. For example aureolin is a colour that fades by nature. Fugitive is not the same as lightfast. Dyes are not lightfast. Most pigments are lightfast, in other words, they don't fade when exposed to light. For your information Daniel Smith watercolours do not fade (90% of them) when exposed to light(see a study that Jane Blundell, who is an expert on watercolour, did on her blog.

@CLIVE5ART 8 лет назад

@adada1st 7 лет назад

Thank you, very helpful! Someone told me that he uses sodium (baking soda) instead of chalk. Is this an option / did you try it?

Hi Clive , I am in a bit of a dilemma ! I have painted something for my grandson as a gift so it’s quite important to me . I am fairly new to acrylic, normally use watercolour. Anyway I am quite pleased with the final piece,however the sky dos nt look quite right .The problem being that I made the two outer corners darker going towards the centre lighter, there is a definite line where I did, nt blend enough on both sides. The painting is now dry but I’m a little scared to change the sky not wanting to mess the whole thing up. Could I just go over the line with fresh paint .? Would appreciate your advice . 🤔
