You are so right! I have always thrown away those wooden pieces because I didn’t know what they were. Now I won’t. Lol 😄

@tseoiling 7 лет назад

I am a beginner in Acrylic painting. Your instruction is so helpful and valuable. No wonder my paint can't spread out evenly. Thank you for your teaching.

@CLIVE5ART 7 лет назад

Glad it helped

@briceduncanartworks3790 5 лет назад

I FINALLY found a video showing me the issue I've been going nuts trying to figure out. Gesso your canvases no matter what! Store bought ones aren't primed right or something, but i visually see the issue i had. Thank you soooo much.

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

They are printed but could be contaminated priming is not gesso

@maryamalmohammed5939 6 лет назад

@mortonj02 8 лет назад

@CLIVE5ART 8 лет назад

It's called an eureka moment understand simple things makes all the difference

@gresahalili2627 5 лет назад

ive been painting on pre-primed canvases for so long just struggling with all my paint being soaked up! Thank you so much for this, i always thought i wouldnt need to prime if they already are.

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

Primed means the canvas is ready but gesso has to be added to help the paint grab to a clean surface

@tammyschaubhut 7 лет назад

THANK YOU !!!!! I didn't know why the canvas was sucking up all my paints......I was about to pull my hair out my head. I didn't understand because I bought prepared canvas's..... Thanks so much ! :)

@CLIVE5ART 7 лет назад

+P Schaubhut mist people thing the canvas is ready to paint on but it's not that's why I made video happy it helped

@ascendingnightvocals259 6 лет назад

Same! :)

@lindalangeheine5787 5 лет назад

Good grief! Now I know why I was having trouble with drawing the paint over the canvas. Off to prime my next one...

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

It helps so much

@isaofujii7817 4 года назад

Okay, just like any technique, there are some slight differences. First, when applying gesso, don't go for massive layers of primer as this will later warp your canvas or create a very plastic like surface to work on. Gesso is merely to add tooth to the canvas itself because it is often white acrylic mixed with a bonding agent; clear gesso contains no white acrylic hence it's colorless once dried after applying. Second, if a person is like me, a thin layer of gesso goes down. I mean, THIN. to the point where it may seem non-existent. Again, this is merely to add tooth and even then, not all canvas need such strict preparation. Wood is a very good example of this, requiring only really enough sanding for the ink or, in this case, paint to absorb into the wood fibers evenly. You are right about dust and oils. But simply cleaning your canvas before use can help for this. Some use a thick clean brush and others simply use a slightly moist paper towel. Either way, a coat of gesso is really all that is necessary unless you are wanting to build in thicker layers. Otherwise, even three coats of gesso is fine but should be tempered down with a thin sanding once the gesso is dried. Just my experiences...

@joenix6535 9 лет назад

Great!! By George, I think you have got it! I have learned more from you than you can imagine. I will continue watching you. Altho that is not much. I am going to learn what I can. Fantastic.

@papo826 7 лет назад

Thank you. I have always gessoed my canvases, primarily because I paint "wet on wet" but my canvases are always primed as you demonstrate. I teach this in classes also.

@CLIVE5ART 7 лет назад

Good to hear thank you

@amandamherron1981 7 лет назад

Thank you, Clive!!!! I have been scouring the internet for a while trying to find out how to make my canvases smooth and now you've shown me how to step by step. Thanks!!

@CLIVE5ART 7 лет назад

So happy to help many people think canvas is ready to paint but they only seal the canvas we must put gesso on to help with the painting flow

Now I understand why I am having some trouble with paints. I always have clean hands when I take them out of the wrapper, and thought they were "ready to go." This explains a lot. I keep thinking it is the brand or quality of paint, but I will gesso the next one. Thank you again, Clive for another great tip!

@julieveitia2979 6 лет назад

I didn't know any of this. I touch my canvas when opening. Then rub my hand over the surface to feel if it is smooth. I've told the instructor that my canvas sucks up the paint and I have to use tons of paint but never get a good response. Now I know how to fix ! Can't wait to try to paint with a properly prepped canvas. THANK YOU, Clive.

@CLIVE5ART 6 лет назад

Never rub your hand on the canvas as you put grease on it and the paint may not stick correctly gesso the canvas and you will find it’s much better for you

@lou08071 6 лет назад

Thank you! I have use acrylics sporadically for a couple of years and now I'm officially retired..... can't tell you how much this makes sense!!!! I just love to understand the "why" behind every tutorial....When instructions , for anything, say don't do this or don't do that... without an explanation of why? or this will happen if you do....etc. it just leaves me feeling stumped! Again, thank you for the clear explanations in your tutorials...."the why's and why not's , or else....:) " It's much appreciated!!!!

@CLIVE5ART 6 лет назад

Thank you I found the same that's why I explain all lessons are at ru-vid.com

@jmo5087 5 лет назад

Im a beginner at painting so I’ve never applied this gesso or medium and am currently trying to learn so I’ve bought a kit and everything so I want to make sure I’m doing it right by learning the basics. I’m the same way with many things. I like to know the science or reasoning behind it. We’re like curious children “but why?” Haha

@lenaya6609 5 лет назад

I always thought priming was optional depending on what look you're wanting. I still think if you're going for a certain look not priming will work but I've struggled with paint dragging, streaking, and looking just...bad since I've started painting and now I have a much better grasp on WHY you prime. Thank you!!

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

Primer is different from gesso primer is just Matt paint where as gesso is a chalk based preparation coat which works well for acrylic

@Nomadcreations 5 лет назад

Thank You. Informative ! Very True . & As a Former Car Body-Man, CLEAN Surfaces & Priming Is Essential To Adhesion & Flow out of Paints

@CLIVE5ART 5 лет назад

Very true prep is everything

@Ian-mv4qq 3 года назад

This is very useful, especially the side by side comparison. That problem is exactly what has been frustrating me, I ended up using a lot of paint or painting multiple layers. Thank you so much! But so if you apply extra gesso, do you still need to mix the acrylic paint with gel medium? Seems like gesso works fine making the paint flow better already.

I truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

@TheNortheastAl 4 года назад

Even though this video is five years old, it is one of the most important. I had not understood the reason to prime a canvas that was pre-primed straight from the package. Now I will prime all my canvases.

@CLIVE5ART 4 года назад

No one does but it’s so important

@ForrestGregory 7 лет назад

Buddy! I really appreciate the video and I am going to try this. With that said, I hope that it works because your brush strokes on the first canvas were completely different than those to the second.

@CLIVE5ART 7 лет назад

It's not so much of the brush strokes more about the flow of the paint it's a tried and tested approach and hope it helps you
