This lesson is covering how I gesso a canvas to use for oil painting.
If you have any questions about the process, or for other materials you want to try and use ask here.
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?

acrylic is gesso. so yes, acrylic gesso primed. most cheap canvas is exactly that.
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?

yes, if you want more canvas texture then go ahead. Normally on portraits texture of canvas can be difficult to fight.
