I just took up painting, at age 60. All tips are gold to me. Thank you. Enjoyed your video.

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Oh Ilse, what a great age to start painting! life at this age is so much more relaxed, and I think we learn better. I am glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you find more of my tutorials enjoyable.

[@katygutierrez9492]

I took a few oil painting classes back in my mid 20’s and loved it, but of course life got in the way. I decided to give it a try again about 3 months ago. I will be 58 this month.

[@bruceball4238]

@@katygutierrez9492 Kathy, back in the 1980's, I had a TV show in Arizona where I taight oil painting, but then went into the ministry. I just started painting again after 35 years!!! Oh, how I've missed it! Please don't ever stop!

Hi Yovette, Those pads are wonderful when you are going to gesso a canvas and have a large class. My students can do their own now and makes my day easier. keep up the great tips!!

[@shumeister1059]

To not create waste you can also buy a reusable wider house painting brushes, like 3inch wide Purdy's, Wooster. I'd recommend getting the brush with narrow tapered handle. It make spinning the brush easier in the final stage of cleaning.

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Good tip Shu, I looked them up online, and they look like nice brushes! Many will see this post. Thank you.

[@aimeeelliott7608]

Hello! Just found your channel this morning and really loved the lesson you shared. I am new the the art world, and I have a couple of questions. 1) How do I know a good quality canvas from a not as good quality? Also, you mentioned about a cool or warm color for your gesso layer. Do you try to paint warm colored paintings on warm gesso? And cool on cool? I do see a place to see all your videos and I'll look there for answers too. I know this part doesn't make a difference in my painting, but, I love your voice and could listen for hours. So many on KZbin don't. It makes it harder to listen to. haha. Best wishes.

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Gosh I love your questions and comments Aimee! I am happy you found me, and I hope you find lots of fun things on my channel. A good quality canvas will be tight and sound like a drum when you tap on it, and the grains should run straight and smooth like in a fabric. A lot of artists tint their canvas before painting. Browns for a warm painting, and gray or blue/gray for a cool painting. There is no one way, it is just how an artist decides they want to do it. There is a lot to learn, so just watch a lot of artists, and see how they do things. Thank you for watching.

[@aimeeelliott7608]

[@mrs.d8921]

Hello! Great video much better than using paint brush to apply gesso. I assume you reuse the foam brushes? How do you clean the gesso from the foam applicator?

[@PaintingWithYovette]

I do clean the foam applicators Mrs. D. First I blot out all the paint I can with paper towels. Then, I have a 3 lb coffee tin filled half full of water. I rinse the applicators in those best I can, then rinse outside with a hose. They come out like new!

[@dfalco2138]

Thanks so much for this little trick. It is a great reminder to me to not make painting harder by thinking it’s different than all the rest of life. My mind makes it harder than it is, and I get scared out of it. Great tip!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

I had to laugh D Falco, don't we artists often make things harder than they should be? I know I do! LOL Hope this little trick works well for you. Thank you for watching.

[@Lisa-qt7pw]

Nice! I have used those pads for a long time to paint rooms, never thought of using it for Gesso-ing. Genius! However, do you have any recommendations on cleaning it after use, since I would like to reuse it over and over, instead of having to buy new ones every time?

[@kathleenwildey2757]

I have used them for a while. They clean out great with water and dish soap!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

I do my first cleaning in a coffee can to get most of the paint out. Then I finish cleaning them outside with a waterhose and sometimes soap. They are definitely reusable, and no need to buy new ones. Thank you for your question.

[@moboda7233]

Lisa I scrape the gesso off and back into the container then wash with warm water and dish soap 😁👍

[@PaintingWithYovette]

@@moboda7233 That is a good idea too Mo!

[@lisaraper8053]

I use a card. Like an old gift card or store card, etc. and spread it around scraping off the excess

[@kayspence759]

Is it possible to paint over a previously painted canvas? I'd like to recycle an acrylic painting by applying gesso and repainting with fresh acrylic. Doable?

[@susannesteele535]

Yes it is. Even the old masters used to do this and beginners like me do it all the time.😁

[@sand3882]

Depends on if It's been varnished. If not, go for it.

[@PaintingWithYovette]

I have seen a lot of people do this Kay, and I have reused canvas also. If it has a lot of texture, you will need to sand it some, or scrape with a puddy knife. Then just regesso, and start over. Here is a video that may help you where I corrected some mistakes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGipiXeXjN6Bpqc

[@joniyoungart]

I love priming all my canvases with gesso! It really helps the canvas take the paint much better, especially if you are using a cheaper canvas😘 just found your channel, looking forward to watching some more videos! Thank you

[@PaintingWithYovette]

I am happy you found my channel Joni, and hope you find more good things you like here. I liked your comment because I agree with you completely! Cheap canvases need a lot of help, LOL! Thank you for viewing!

[@sunnyboy4553]

Like your video, just subbed. But PLEASE in over 6 minutes, please tell us the purpose of gesso. What exactly does it DO for a painting??? I've used gesso and heard about gesso for many years, but STILL do not know exactly why artists use it. What is the benefit of usin g it???

[@shumeister1059]

Gesso preserves the canvas from deteriorating. This is important if you use oil paint. With acrylic it doesn't matter.

[@ReaTexas]

Gesso preps the canvas to receive the paint. It can also smooth the weave in the canvas. I paint with acrylic and to me, priming with gesso is a necessity

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Great answer Shu, Thank you!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

It is with me too Rea. I love a smooth canvas to paint on.

[@PaintingWithYovette]

That is a great question Planet! Others have hopped in to answer your question and they are all correct. Gesso is like a white acrylic paint, only thinner. It dries pretty hard so it makes a canvas stiffer. It has more of a grain feel to it than acrylic, so paint sticks easier. My personal reasons for using it is becuase it makes the canvas much smoother, and that saves on the wear and tear of my brushes! Hope that helps!

[@mohitmaheshwari2510]

Hi, I am a beginner and would like to thank you for such amazing videos where anybody can learn a lot from your experience. Thanks a lot, I will continue to learn from your videos.

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Thank you Lee, I am pleased to hear that!

[@quadflopper1012]

I have a best kept secret to share with you too, the 8x10 stretched canvas's you get at the dollar tree are also gallery wrapped and pre-coated with Gesso and guess what?... they only cost a dollar! While it's true they don't feel quite as substantial as the more expensive canvas's, they only cost $1 and you don't have to do any prep to them if you don't want to, you can just unwrap and start painting and they only cost $1!!!!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

I love that Quadflopper, and you are right, those canvas's are only a $1. Many of my followers buy from them already and they do work great! It is just a personal preference of mine to try lots of different products, and some I like better than others so I share that. Thank you for sharing your best kept secret with me. Lots of viewers will see this!

I’ll try the pad. Many times I feel my brush gets full of gesso and it’s a waste. Liked, subscribed, hit the bell, shared. Have a blessed day.

[@PaintingWithYovette]

OMG Beach Mami! Thank you so much for subscribing and sharing my video!!! That is the nicest thing viewers can do to help support me! You will find the pad idea so helpful! Blessings, and thank you again!

[@cnslloyd]

You’re a genius! I’ve always used the foam brushes to apply my gesso but I’d never thought about using one of those applicator sponge things even though I love using them when we paint the rooms!! Great job thinking outside the box! Keep it coming 👏

The paint pad, (edger) works so great Angela, and such a time saver if you do many canvases at a time. I hope this will come in very handy for you. Thank you for your comment.

[@vickybrown5047]

What a great idea, using a paint edger, I'll be trying this !! Thanks

[@PaintingWithYovette]

It does work great Vicky! Hope you enjoy all the tips!

That's for the tip. I'll be most thankful to have a another tip,how to clean the bas of a small and big brush. I try's many good cleansers and even in a new brushes they didn't remove all the paint from them. THANKS for your Tim.

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Are you using acrylic paint or oil paint?

[@פרחיהמזרחי]

@@PaintingWithYovette oil paint

[@PaintingWithYovette]

When I use oil paint, I use odorless thinner. I have 3 cleaning containers. The 1st container gets most of the paint out. The 2nd container cleans the brushes even more. The 3rd container is the one that gets the brushes really clean. I have a wire cleaner rack in the bottom of my containers to swish the brushes around. Then I hang the brushes upside down, handle up to dry. Hoping that helps you. ***** Kada koristim uljne boje, koristim razrjeđivač bez mirisa. Imam 3 posude za čišćenje. Prvi spremnik izvlači većinu boje. Druga posuda još više čisti četke. 3. spremnik je onaj koji četkice zaista čisti. U dnu svojih spremnika imam stalak za čišćenje žica za brisanje četkica. Zatim četke objesim naopako, rukovim da se osuše. U nadi da će vam pomoći.

Applying with the right kind of small roller works great also... especially for those of us with bad wrists

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Yes I have used the roller too Mary, and it works also. Thank you.

[@karanouren1596]

Thanks, I've tried many tools in applying he's gesso on my canvases as well as various watercolor and mixed media papers, I never would have thought of using that flat house paint sponge thing!!!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

This is a handy hint that will really help you Karen! I had used a lot of things before this too, but this is so nice!
