  • The music is ANNOYING!

  • @montanagirlart Isn't that tub of gesso like $60? If I remember correctly (and if it's the same stuff) it was $60 at Dick Blicks...if you want a better alternative, use regular joint compound, you can get a 5 gallon bucket of it for $11 at Menards

  • @SBilodeau71 Gesso is made to seal the canvas. It doesnt' crack.

  • @montanagirlart Hi, is it possible that the gesso can crack with time on canvas?

  • Thank you...i'm just starting out so every little bit helps :o)

    I'm off to score me some gesso!

  • Great, thank u! Now I learnt something new

  • how do you create different shapes using gesso? like a circle for a sun for example
