Always like your videos as they are helpful and you're good at explaining! I love that - "underwear for your art" and the black gesso does really make things pop. TFS xAmy
So glad I saw this video. I was having trouble getting my baby wipe to remove color through a stencil and I just figured out that I forgot to gesso first. Also I have never used black gesso but now that I see how it highlights the color I must get some!
I used the black gesso on a paper mache box...looks great, but do I need to seal it or can I just leave it? I plan to attach a needle punch project to the lid.
Love gesso.... Usually only work with white but I see that the clear would be very useful. Unfortunately I haven't seen that brand in NZ shops so have to go with brands that r in the shops here - and so far it's black and white guess so available
this is the best explanation for gesso I've seen, and right to the point too, awesome vid, thanks!
I never saw the need for black gesso ... until now !! It's on my list to purchase -- the colors look amazing !!
Thanks for the explanation and demo!
I definitely need to get my hands on the clear gesso; I didn't even realise it was in your line until this video!

Please keep this kind of vids coming, thanks!
I make my own Gesso and yes it does give added vibrancy to colors. I call it adding ‘teeth’ to painting!
I love your videos....your REAL if wkwim...thank you!!!
Loved the last technique when you use the stencil to take the paint out of the paper.

Do you use a separate brush for just gesso? Or can you use the same brush as with your paints?

+Debbie Buckland No need for clear gesso, matte medium works pretty much the same
+Debbie Buckland I know that Scrapaholics in Auckland sell clear gesso
+Debbie Buckland Hi Debbie, you can also get clear Gesso of Liquitex at Takapuna Art Supplies or Winsor and Newton Clear Gesso at Gordon Harris.
Can clear gesso be used as a sealer on a finished tag, or journal page?
is the clear gesso smooth...I bought one that is so grainy I can't use it
"Underwear for your art" that was great!
Can I use clear Gesso on a jumpstart journal from Dylusion, would like to add a collage paper on my journal will the clear gesso will it work
Does the clear gesso have a tooth to it or is it a smooth finish?
can you just mix black acrylic with white or clear gesso instead of buying a bottle of black gesso?
Underwear for your art. Too funny.
