Getting some canvases primed. I did put a little black acrylic into the gesso to make a grey. It is very light, so will go back after it dries and do the toned wash with acrylic. I have some aluminum angle iron strips I use as risers.

First step! I absolutely love the attitude and approach in this course so far. 🎨

As I understood I have to put acrylic primer then acrylic gesso white not clear or both are the same cause unfortunately this is the first time I know abut acrylic primer and acrylic gesso

Hey there, apologies for perhaps stating the obvious but when you say buy "acrylic primed," I had a moment of confusion becuase most canvases I see say "acrylic gesso primed." So my takeaway is you reccomend putting gesso on top of these "acrylic gesso primed" canvases?

hello is it ok to use sanding paper to get even a smoother surface i saw one artist making their canvas that way. they sand it and apply then a layer of gesso

Is it ok to use liquitex gray gesso and skip the white gesso?
