I don’t have the time, patience or courage to make a video so I can only say how much I appreciate and grateful to those who do. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You just saved my life and my budget. There is a painting I want to do so terribly bad but I can’t afford to buy the Gesso at the craft store to do it.THANK YOU!
Ok. I'm not sure what the ovarian cancer has to do with the gesso you are making. Because from what I have heard in regards to that, it is based on years of using it on your private part. I don't remember anywhere in your video where you might have mentioned to apply the gesso to a your private part. I did watch the video again. Just to make sure. You did NOT say to use it down there. I did however want to thank you for being you and taking all these negative comments well. Shows you are a good hearted person. I appreciate all that you do and what you contribute to the art community. Taking time out of your day to teach the rest of us, is a really nice thing. I can't afford to take art classes. I am displaced, and struggling. But your videos are an inspiration and I love what you do. Thank you for everything.
+Monica DaCosta haha. Nope- I definitely did not say to use it down there. 😂
@@JanelleNichol lol!😂🤣

Well, you never know what people are using for their canvas. Lol.
@@patstone3259 haha!
If you use black paint, I advise clear school glue.
When I use the white glue to make stain glass it lightens my paint.
A tip: it's always better to add the water to the PVA (school) glue then add the powder a bit at a time, this way it saves you thinning down the lumps when it's added to the glue. This is how we mix plaster to avoid lumps and it keeps the consistency fluid. Thanks for your recipe, I'm off to save money!
Frances Luck I purposely mix it in this order because the dry ingredients are “fixed” whereas the wet ingredients will vary. I just mix to a certain consistency but it’s the wet ingredients that will change not the dry ones. I don’t care how much water is added but I need a specific amount of the dry ingredients.
I'm sure you can unscrew the top of the lid of the talc instead of puffing it out of the holes which is a lot easier! LOL 😀
How much water?
@@enochwalked1 actually I can’t. I can be a little dense at times but I’m not that bad! It doesn’t screw off, you have to pry it open and because I was filming a video at the time, there are many things that need to be considered, such as having everything at arms reach. I did not have a tool at arms reach so therefore the best option was to puff it out. Yes, I could have went on a search for a “prying tool” but chances are, regardless of which tool I had used, I’d still have people in the comment section telling me I used the wrong thing, did it the wrong way and telling me what I should have done instead. So there’s that. Then there is the issue of editing the part of the video where I went on the search. I could just pause the recording rather than keep it recording while I’m wandering around my studio but that gives me separate video files as soon as I press pause...it finishes one file and starts another. So you may think this is an unnecessary extended explanation for why I “puffed” out the baby powder but then again you probably didn’t think about all that goes into filming a video either so I thought I’d give you the rundown so that you are better informed for any future tutorials you will watch online. It’s not that your comment is rude....just not helpful & possibly (not sure) a little mocking.
@@MsDima1965 thAt depends on your preference of consistency. That’s why I put the dry ingredients in first and then add the wet ingredients. I need a specific amount of dry ingredients and then however much water I want for the consistency of gesso I want. If I was to add the wet first, I don’t have a lot of options as to what the end consistency will be.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I live in a small village that has a dollar store so this was perfect and also saved me gas or shipping costs from ordering online. Much appreciated!
Ok I read a lot of your comments. It amazes me that people can't just thank you. Maybe give you some suggestions or say if it worked for them. Or ask a question. You are the first person I have seen that has tried making this with the lower cost items (thank you again). Also you gave us some measurements of how much of the ingredients to use. Thank you again. Was wondering, for clear gesso would you just leave out the paint? Oh and by the way, I don't care what you stir with, and nobody else should either. Lol
+Jen McGinnis thank you!!! I need to look into the clear gesso diy because I really want to try making some. I’m also working on a gesso with cornstarch instead of powder. Thank you again for all your kind words 💗💗💗💗
Jen McGinnis You took the words right out of my mouth! How about aliitle gratitude people! Stop picking apart everything , if its not useful to you move on & if it is Say " Thank You" - manners is a lost ( ART) pun intended haha😘😉
Jen, the trend nowadays on CZcams is to criticize and offer negative opinions that nobody asked for. If I find something objectionable, I either stop watching or say to myself, "I wouldn't do that". It's not necessary for me to try to be a negative influencer. Anyway, great video.
Actually Jen, there are numerous CZcams videos for making gesso - clear, white and black, grey, etc. and there are recipes with different ingredients. And there are even more instructions on making it online if you don’t need video. It has been made by hand for centuries - not a new product. The only “new” is the convenience factor. Any top artist knows how to make their own to prepare canvas. That said...cheap ingredients will not make a durable, long lasting product. For example, cheap paint - craft or big box wall has lots of fillers and very little pigment. Once those fillers evaporate and cure out - what’s on top peels, flakes off or discolors. In fact - here is how true gesso is made by many artist - note the difference in ingredients. www.artistsnetwork.com/art-techniques/homemade-gesso-recipe-for-a-true-gesso-panel/
I was gonna ask about using corn starch because I have some handy.
Got to try this thanks. No matter what sight you get on. Someone is always putting people down.
Do you put a mask on the baby while dusting? Silly Rabbit....Uncle Will
I can't believe how rude some people can be. The attitudes of some of these people posting comments seriously pissed me of. If you guys have so many issues with this video then move on to another one and stop trying to make someone feel bad for trying to help. Really people, some of these comments were just nit picking . I applaud her for sharing and hope she keeps on sharing. I am almost scared to share my crafts after seeing how cruel people can be. Sweetheart, thank you for sharing.
Awesome teaching, Janelle. You are gracious to show these DIYs and save those of us who are on a limited budget ways to conserve. The crafting products these days have gotten out of control cost wise. Because of the popularity, prices are sky high and it's a shame. I am grateful for you and others who help us this way. Never mind these people who fuss about things. They are those who complain about everything. You are wonderful and greatly appreciated. Your research into costs, etc. was an added bonus. Keep it up!!
You can remove the top of the talc powder....insert a screw driver to the underside of the cap and pop it off.....no mess and no mask necessary
+MsMckenzie123 oh good to know! Thanks!
You should NEVER use talc w/o a mask. Or really ever. It's so harmful to breathe in.
MsMckenzie123
Yes, you can even cut the top of the bottle off with a box blade .
Thank you! I paint big size canvas, and a lot, so I go through gesso like water, and now learned that 3x gesso is bare minimum, so want to up my game. It gets quite expensive, so I am so happy that I found you! You are a great teacher. Your awesome video is heaven send to me!
i knew she was a teacher. boy did i need you in college. I learned nothing in art class. i'm learning so much on You Tube.
Do you watch Dollar Tree Craft videos, you can make great crafts for less, sell them or keep them for yourself or give as gifts
You can just go to Hobby Lobby in buy gesso white black or clear and pull up the 40% discount on your phone
i know exactly what you mean about art class its as if theyre afraid to share stuff with you :(
CZcams is reaching a point where it is rivalling my high school education in terms of value and amount of information (actually in terms of value youtube is free so its smashed it out of the park). Im not even using university/college for this comparison cause honestly i feel like that was so useless that if I didn't know any better (and I probably dont) I'd say the whole thing was a giant rort.
All hail sensei CZcams! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you I love your mistakes like we all do. it’s fun to watch so much knowledge we learn from our mistakes and don’t let these negative people spoil your job. Great job
Thank you so much for these very valuable tips.
Thank you for taking the time to show us how you make your own Gesso! I will definitely try it!
Thanks for taking the time to show us and for being pretty precise about the ratios of ingredients. I appreciate people like you sharing this kind of information for free and for fun! Thanks again!
Thank you so much for a great cost effective way of making Gesso. Where I live it is very expensive. Finally have a way of adding texture to art as well. Thank you again for your time that you have taken to make a very helpful tutorial.
I’ve always wondered if I could
Make my own and now I’m excited to know that I can.
Great video. I just watched Infallible Handmades channel for DIY clear gesso & another on both white and pigmented gessos. For Clear Gesso you just omit the white acrylic paint. Black 🖤 or other colored gesso you just use that color of acrylic paint instead of white acrylic paint. i.e. black, gray, red, yellow, green etc acrylic paints. Just imagine the fun for using clear or pigmented gesso in el cheapo sketchbooks. 😊
I really appreciate that you made this video. Any product that I use that I can make - I do. These are very good, cheap, practical recipes and I WILL use them. thank you for making this video!!!
Thank you for such clear, concise and helpful gesso making video!!!
Hi Janelle, I am new to this type of learning and after my question to you, was appalled to read the dreadful nativity. I am so grateful to have people like you to learn from and thank you for the kindness in sharing and your knowledge. Thank you once again and I do hope you will carry on spreading your help 🥰🤗
Oh thanks so much for the encouragement. CZcams.....am I right? Haha.
Thank you immensely for your helpfulness in showing me how to make my own gesso. I'm all about saving money, and this will definitely help in my crafting and painting. Your appreciated! Again, thank you!
Fantastic video. Great info and good demonstration with good explanation. Thank you.
Thank you so much I am just starting with this and am on tight budget making the gas so will be the way for me to go
Easiest DYI gesso ever. Thank you for sharing😃😃😃
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I'm not an artist by any definition, but art tutorials come up for me every so often. I've learned a lot and will subscribe.
Thank you for sharing this information. I did not learn this in art school! In fact, this came up in my feed just when I have my first mixed media project and will need a LOT of paste. Thank you again... you are a born teacher... sharing information is invaluable.
Thank you so much!! I was looking for a cheap way to make gesso.
This is great, thank you...I hv 11 grandchildren (so far) and I am making all their gifts for Christmas...so I am going to make some today n get started! Thanks again!
I am so thankful you posted this video. I use so much gesso and this will definitely save me a ton of money

Thank you for taking the time to teach us! I lov saving $. I get a lot of my project materials for free and then I buy my paints , & Etc. you are my kind of gal ! I'll see you , next video 🤓Thank you again.
Brilliant,going to make some of this for my next canvases,thank you.
Love the texture or paste.
This is wonderful! I don’t want to use expensive gesso for daily painting practice 😖 I’m going to try one of these. I love that they’re also a bit on the thicker side
Superb video, can't wait to go get the supplies to make it, many thanks x
I can't wait to use this thank you
Thanks very much for the money saving tips. I live in a long term facility and we do a lot of work with acrylic paint. No one has ever mentioned gesso so I will pass this on to them.
Sounds easy enough! Thanks!
Thank you! I'm on a retirement budget, so diy is great!
It's already 2020. Thank you so so very very much. I am pretty new in painting. This is perfect for me as a beginner.
You just saved me from buying a very expensive branded gesso. I just started painting (with acrylic) last month which i never thought I could paint. And now I want to try oil painting. And since I am just starting and I am still practicing , so this is what I really need while I'm just practicing. Thanks, again for making this video! Stay safe!
Looks like this the way to go. Thank you!
You are a MASH person, in the tranches. No bells and …. Happy and practical. Bless you.
Keep this good work going.
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for showing us how to make homemade gesso
Thanks for making this video. I knew the first 'recipe' and I have used it for my crafting projects, but I was not familiar with the second recipe. I will try that out.
Thank you Janelle, I'm all about saving money and this looks like the way to do it. So glad I didn't buy that expensive Gesso I had my hand on in the craft supply store the other day!
The cloud of powder made me laugh. I love the smell of baby powder. Great recipes! Thanks!
Very cool! Thank you for this.
Thank you for this awesome video! I was wondering how to get texture paint and gesso cheaper. Thank n 's so much for your time and detailed instructions.
Thank you so much, you've been a big help
Hello, Janelle. I plan to use oil paints to create a scene on the top of a wooden picnic basket, and knew I should prep the wood. Thank you for this video!
Wonderful!! Thank you so much for this video
First video I've viewed, enjoyed learning how to save money. LOVE DIY.
Janelle - thank you so much for the demo on making gesso(s). I'm just beginning with this style of painting and I need to save where I can too. I think it' s great that we can make it ourselves. Again: THANKS!
+Mary Ann Lowrance
Here is a link for the update on how well this gesso stores over time and if it still works after one year. czcams.com/video/Ih_lmTGLq3I/video.html
Awesome presentation, thank you.
going to try this, thank you.
Thank you....great idea.
You are awesome for sharing with others the technics you developed and will help people to save money. Thank you so very much!!!
+Carmen Brito thanks so much!!
Thanks 😊I have made gesso and liked using it 😀
I enjoyed your information and video. And,,,,,,,,,,using your hands and trying to use up everything in the containers. Ver informative and liked the cost breakdown.
This has been THE BEST TUTORIAL I have come across. I am a new artist and "teaching" myself in many styles of painting but my favorite is ABSTRACT ART. In my journey I haven't been able to get what I need from other people in terms of explanation of how to attempt abstract... That is until I came across your video. And the best thing is that in terms of selling my art I didn't want to just sell canvas paintings, I envisioned myself going the highend clothing route so not only has your video been very educational for me but it has also been very inspiring. For this I thank you JanelleNichol and I wish you the best and KEEP INSPIRING! 🎨🖌️😍
Wow. This was so thorough, informational, and helpfu! Thank you so much for all the work you put into doing this video and sharing w us😊😊
Thank You for saving me some money. I am obsessed with mixed media creating and I am going to make the homemade stuff. I look forward to more of your videos
Cool. I've done this to prime over failed watercolor paintings to use for acrylic or oils. No talc though. I put in clay or a bit of plaster powder. Thanks for posting a step by step. Really helpful to many out here.
Yes, I will have to do one without talc sometime. I mostly use manufactured acrylic gesso for my pieces as I sell them, but I like the DIY for experimenting or art journal pages.
This is super easy to make!
Thank you for sharing honey!
Thanks for your demo. Could try it out.
Great information! Thanks!
Great information, thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this information!
Thank you for sharing. I appreciate it
Thanks so much for sharing. Great tips !!! ❤
Thank you so much for the recipe!
Well done, informative video. Thank you!
I would use a sharp saw to take the bottom off the talc container, to get it all out in one go with less clouds of talc. I am glad I found your video.
Thanks for taking the time to share this clever money saving DIY recipe. I appreciated the side by side comparisons as well, a time saver for us all! 👍
+C. Samson you’re very welcome!!!!
Another great video. Definitely trying this!
loved the explanations
Thanks for the Tutorial.
Thx 4 your DIY on Gesso. I purchased a big container of it, so when it runs out, I'll definitely try your recipe:):)
Thanks, I´ll try this.
Wonderful! Thank you.
Thankyou for the lesson to make myself.
Thank You for the info, very helpful.
This is great. Thanks very much!
Thank you so much!! Just what I was looking for!! Very informative!!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 💗
Thanks for the great DIY's I think I might give these a try when I'm getting low, especially the Gesso :)
Thank you for sharing. This video from you taught me the difference between the two Gesso’s.
Now I understand why my work has been giving the results-I was using “texture paste” gesso, instead of the liquid version.
Your video taught me more in 20 minutes, I have learned in a year 😊self-study.
Thank you!!
I’m so glad you were able to learn something from my video!
Thanks for this video because I have two large canvases that I want to reuse. And this will save me money. Really, educational! 💋💋
Thank you. I like this.
These are all so great! Thank you so much! :)
Thank you. Very useful!
Love your video. I stumbled upon it. Great details. I accidentally lost it before subscribing but luckily remembered the title. I live in a small town but we do have a general store. Love that this is something I can do with my grandkids. Thanks.
Great video. I'm going to the Dollar Store today. Thank You
Thank you for sharing this!
Great review, thank you.
