Annoying background sounds. Sorry couldn’t follow.
@@maxinealcock7020 when that happens (a lot) I usually mute and put on the CC.
Is acrylicglue the same as schoolglue? X
Gesso recipe: 1/4 cup of warm water, 1/8 of cup white school glue, enough corn starch/baby powder/plaster of Paris to get to thin pancake batter consistency, 1 tablespoon of white acrylic paint. Thank you!
Thanks for that, Vanessa!
❤❤
Will clear acrylic paint work too? Thanks. 🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸
y@@MyName-zd9pe yes, it is only the acrylic that is necessary. Acrylic's purpose is a very strong glue.
Thank you so easy and so much cheaper than bought gesso.
You aren't just the queen of DIY, you're the queen of MIY--Make It Yourself. Thanks, your instructions are always so clear & concise--you don't babble on and on and on without ever getting down to the information, like some CZcamsrs, you are just pleasant and informative. And creative!!
You are so welcome! Thanks so much for the compliment. I really appreciate it
She’s amazing that’s for sure
I agree.
You saved my day! Your recipe was superb. As a new painter and learning so much from people like you. Every penny saved earns a recycled canvas. Thanks a billion paintings!
Glad to help

As always...Thank you, Deidre for sharing your knowledge!!! Appreciate you so much!!!
Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed Jean
Don't use cornstarch! Gesso is supposed to keep the paint from rotting through your canvas, especially when you paint with oil. A lot of bacteria will eat through the oil and sooner or later the fibers of the canvas. Using cornstarch means the bacteria will simply consume that as well.. and in a few years your paintings need to be send for restoration. You want to use gypsum, because its absorben, but doesn't get eaten by the bacteria and fungi that will eat through oil and such. Sure you can get away with talcum powder (Baby Powder is usually just talcum with added perfume), but gypsum is used for a reason. The PVA will not protect the canvas if you use cornstarch. Maybe for Acrylic painting you can use cornstarch, but i would advise against that! If you do oil or water colors.
Where can you get gypsum?
I live near white sand dunes that are made up of gypsum sand. Very clean. Can that be used?
@@slippersmomma You can get gypsum in any hardware store where its called Plaster of Paris.
Gypsum is also sold as hardening agent for Portlant Cement, so your local hardware store should definitely have gypsum in some form or another. Just ask one of the clerks, they should be able to point you to it.
Drywall compound should also work, as Drywall is usually made from Gypsum Boards.
Gypsum is formed in marine environments where water evaporates, so it is possible your sand would work, but i never tried that and i don't know if additional processing steps would be needed. I would imagine that it would still need to be ground down? I dunno, about that.
Oh and any Art store probably can also hook you up with gypsum.
@@IshanDeston
thank you!!
What about adding salt to it??
@@yolandagofigure Never tried that. Talcum is readily available via Baby Powder and or from the Hardware store. Don't see the reason to risk it with salt. But you would have to really dissolve it in the liquid. which is probably problematic.
Thank you!!! My art teacher taught us how to make our own primer. And I couldn’t remember how! I knew glue & white paint. But couldn’t remember if water was needed, & I couldn’t remember the potions. Thank you!!
You always have the easiest, most affordable, making it with things you have around the house.......... recipes!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, you are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you like them!

Thanks for the video. Being organic, will the cornstarch rot or go bad eventually and affect the painting over the years?
I make assemblages, gesso is key, so happy I found you. I am a recycle queen too!
Merry Christmas to you all! 🎄🙏💕
Happy holidays!
Thank you so much! Others said to use baby powder, which I do not like to use. But I found you, yay!!! And I made my gesso.❤

I should have known that you would have a video when I was looking for homemade lessor recipes :). I have just started painting on canvas and have just been priming with white paint but of course knew it should be primed with gesso. Thank you, thank you for your homemade recipe as I do not want to spend lots of money for my new hobby. You are awesome! Happy New Year

Tysm. Im trying to make notebooks from toilet paper rolls. i just watched a video about gesso and wanted to make my own. Your video has everything i have to get started. Except ill be trying with arrowroot powder since i have a large bag that has expired.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.
What an amazing tip. Question for you... I use a lot of barn wood for crafting and I just purchased a bunch of your lovely graphics. Rather than using white or another color of paint, will this Gesso help my painting techniques on the barn wood, helping to smooth out the grain a bit?
Yes it may smooth it out! Worth a try
Hi, thank you for sharing! Does this work as a primer on glass jars please ? Thank you xx
Yes it will
Thanks
Welcome
Nice recipe. I don't do art painting, but I will give this a go for finishing objects of porous materials.
I think I would be a little hesitant to use corn starch just because it's organic and could increase the likelihood of microorganisms breaking down the material over time. Starch is chemically one step away from being sugar, so with moisture it's going to be potential food for a lot of stuff.
If the powder is mainly to dial in the consistency then might I suggest chalk? Maybe it's not a common household item, but it's cheap and has been used in paints throughout history for it's pigment and good adhesion properties, so I imagine it would fit in well in this composition.
Some people use talc.
I use chalk and love the consistency and surface it provides. How does the corn starch hold up over time?
I get a box of Yeso from the hardware store, cement department. Can be mixed with just water. Normally used to plug up old nail holes in walls. Costa about a dollar for a year's worth of gesso.
Really easy thankyou --what does "color pop " mean
Do you let the Gesso dry on the canvas before painting? Obviously I am a beginner. LOVE THE HINT ABOUT labels.
Yes, I sure do. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the short informative video. Wouldn't it be easier to premix the starch with water or is it because you anyway need to add more to reach the desired consistency?
Yes, correct
new subscriber, I appreciate your content. have a blessed day
Welcome aboard!
Interesting. You can make your own tinted gesso to take down the canvass colour, saving paint on those first layers.
That's a great idea!
Great recipe. Need to try it out. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure 😊
Thank you! Do you have the recipe to make a whole jar full?
You can double recipe
Just beginning to learn to paint. Trying acrylics...and just learned about gesso. Love that it can easily be made at home. Can you mix it up and use it later? How long is it good for after mixing?
Yes you can! Store in air tight container will last a couple weeks
years ago I was taught to make gesso with rabbit skin glue and "Whiting" which i think is chalk,,, this is much easier! Iam allergic to corn, so think I will use talc, thank you.
That's great!
Thank you for sharing your video. Can you use this on cardboard when making crafts?
Sure can
Clear glue works as well!
do you have a video for making matte medium? its so expensive at micheals! love your videos!
Not yet!
what is the difference between Gesso and Mod Podge.? Thanks for all your awesome advice!!!!
Good question! Mod Podge Vs Gesso: Differences and Similarities
One of the main differences between gesso and Mod Podge is the fact that one is a primer intended to be used as a layer of smoothness and strength for a surface, while the other is an adhesive that also doubles as a sealer for your craft projects.
Thanks a lot for sharing this recipe. One question, since I am not quite positive what you mean by school glue, could you use the wood glue instead? It seems to be of the same consistency. Thanks a lot.
Use a PVA glue wood glue would not work well
I’m new to trying some canvas projects. Is gesso what I need to conceal the woven texture of a new canvas?
Yes
I loved this video! Sometimes I lose interest because it goes too slow. You clipped along at a fast pace and I really appreciated that.
Rebekka D. You can speed up the videos by clicking on the 3 vertical dots at the top right of your screen and select "speed". On a laptop/tablet select the wheel and then the speed selection.
@@alinedeleandro123 great tip!
Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed. Time is precious so I really like being to the point!
Awesome thx
Dam glad for the video as that is the thinnest pancake batter I have ever seen!!! If not for the video, my gesso mix would have had to be baked in the oven as scones.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for watching!
Can you use apple barrel acrylic paint for the tablespoon or does it have to be the one that comes in those little tubes?
Yes, you can use that for sure. Thanks for
Excellent DIY Gesso and clear stickers!! Do you have a recipe for clear gesso? 🐞💖
Not yet!
Warm water gonna make plaster Paris set up.
I work with both wood and clay pots. I plan to use the gesso on a wood project that I'm about to start, but do you think that it would work on clay pots?
Yes it will
Thank you for this recipe. I just bought several canvases and wanted to give them extra coat of Gesso. Every time I think about a project, one of your videos pops up out of no where, with just what I need- how do you do that??
Can gesso be put on the backside of a canvas to strengthen it? If not, what would you recommend?
Glad it was helpful! Yes it can
I need to make it thicker so I'm assuming add more corn starch
Yes
Thanks for another great video. In the US baby powder is corn starch, not talc so just use corn starch because it is way cheaper.
Yes it would be cheaper
Hi Deirdre, Any tips on measurements for a gallon amount? Diy make your gesso paint?
No sorry just this amount
Recycled all my paint by number paintings by turning them over, applied 2 coats of gesso, sanded then lightly misted the canvas, applied 1 coat of medium and white cheap dollar store paint, now I am ready to create art! I love my new hobby. Thanks everyone!
Great tip!
How much will this make? Trying Tanks see how much I would need to make a half gallon!
