Creative Ways To Use Gesso

The other day I decided to experiment with Gesso. There is so many different ways to use Gesso. It is not just a primer. I love taking a basic product and stretching it beyond it's intended use so I get even more from my products I have. I created my own texture paste, used it with a stencil and more.
You can also find some amazing creative exercises over on her channel I have linked her video here.

Love your ideas!!! I have micro beads and didn’t really know how to use them. Can we color gesso with acrylic paint?

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

You sure can Lucy! Thank you so much for watching!

[@rocioig316]

Great tips and techniques! Thanks, Tiffany. How can we thicken gesso? xoxo

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

Hello. I saw a diy gesso recipe that used plaster of Paris or baby powder. I’m guessing either of those. I hope that helps. You can also let your gesso sit undisturbed for a few months and then gather the water that is sitting on top. Thanks so much for watching!

From where did you get white sand ? I always see biege sand here.

[@IamHappyHeart]

How do I make my economy gesso to be that thick? Do you have any suggestions?

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

I have heard if you leave it set and don’t disturb it the water will rise to the top and you can scoop it out. I think o saw it in the frugal crafters channel a while back. If you don’t mind a bit of grit I use cornstarch often to thicken up paints if need be. I hope that helps.

[@IamHappyHeart]

@@Tiffany.Solorio great, thanks.. will try that..stay safe

How do you thicken Gesso when it's too thin?

[@carmenpatriciacasalbowles3507]

Gesso for ever.....

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

YES! Gesso is everything! Thanks so much for watching!

[@alasahab8613]

Hello, how do you thicken the gesso?

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

You can use cornstarch or you can also leave the lid off the gesso for a bit so the water can evaporate. I hope that helps.

[@CynnekeSer]

you lay need to thicken it up. How?

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

Cornstarch is a great way to thicken thin paint or gesso. I hope that helps.

[@charlenehirst45]

What is gesso made of.

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

Im pretty sure it’s made of glue chalk and white pigment such as acrylic paint. Hope that helps. Thanks so much for watching.

Sorry late😢
