Gone to make me some before I ran out of my expensive gesso. I was adventurous and used 3 parts white paint and 1 part med blue, as I do like to start off with a colored background. Used 1/2 the water as I was using craft paints and warmed up water first so it would mix better. Turned out perfect, thank you. Two birds with one stone Thank you. >

How to make Elmer's glue at home" The same glue that is used in school. I found the recipe online. Pour 3/4 cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup cornstarch, 2 tablespoons light corn syrup and 1 teaspoon white vinegar. Whisk the ingredients together until they're blended well. Stir the mixture constantly until it thickens.

Patty Coghlan I’m reading the comments to learn some things myself & thought I’d jump in here. Gesso does not require any paint to work as gesso. The paint is for preference only, as to get the canvas white or black or clear .. or really whatever color you want. Because we never want to paint on a stark white canvas (if we use store bought gesso or made a white paint gesso) we can also paint the color we want as a ‘ground’ onto the canvas immediately after the last coat of gesso is applied. As the last coat of gesso is just painted onto the canvas we add a color to the brush and paint the wet gesso. Yes, wet on wet. It works wonders to not be paint-blinded by white or off-white if we made gesso without adding any paint or even if there’s white/black/clear paint. Imagine being out in the white snow. After a few minutes we become snow- blinded. The same thing happens with a white/off white canvas and our eyes won’t see tones/values properly. So yes, a ‘ground’ is of absolute importance to stop the white blindness. Hope this helps some & I wish you a lot of Happy painting!!!! ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

Mary Oakes asked me: Can you use homemade glue when making gesso? And that is a very good question. I would say that the homemade glue should not be washable like a school glue because the tackiness of it could reactivate when other mediums are applied.!! If you try this, please share how it turned out for you. Also, for some reason your question did not appear in my comments section, so I copy and pasted your question for you!! It is a good question because so many of us make our own "stuff"!! Thanks for watching!!

It is best to use Elmers or white glue and talc. You want to be sure to have a good base for your painting.

I dont scrapbook, but I do paint with acrylics and want to slowly move into oils so that I have longer freedom periods with my art pieces....ya know, cuz oil paints dont dry nearly as fast as acrylics. and in my opinion it blends better for certain things that acrylics just wont. . anyways .. this vid is very informative and easy to follow!thank you for that!! also as far as the craft paint u use, what about using a thicker type paint like "premier" brand acrylic? its still pretty cheap. maybe like $4.00 or even less at an ac moore store, with their 50%off coupons!! ;) for what a jar that size would need, im just thinkin about your idea of black gesso! it, "premier" is a little glossy when dry but its alot thicker than apple craft paint or those 3 for a $1 walmart craft paints. so idk if that makes a difference.(I know most cheaper craft paints dry matte or just plain flat) thats why I ask ...but hey, that's what emery cloth or real fine grit sandpaper is for I guess. sorry for the length of this..... but thanks again for a smart video!

When making gesso I"ve even used flat latex paint that was left over from when my husband painted the living room!! When in a pinch, my personal opinion is, use whatever is gonna work best for you or what you have on hand at the time!! I don't have an AC Moore anywhere near me :( That is why I grab the cheaper walmart paint just for making my gesso. When I'm working in my journals, I am a huge americana fan or the liquitex basics when I have a michaels coupon!! Have you tried using glazing medium or gel medium to help your acrylics stay open longer?? I've never used oils, but that is on the list of things to try lol!!

Gesso was originally used to prep a canvas before an artist began their creative process. Most furniture will have some sort of protective varnish on it, that would need to be sanded off. The varnish causes the surface to be non-porous, whereas canvas is a porous surface. You can try, but I would be afraid that whatever you put on top would eventually chip off.

Nice n' easy! Must give this a try! Just a short question for you....is this good to use for color pigments and create acrylic paint?

Hi Christina!! This gesso recipe already has acrylic paint in it (white), but you absolutely can add color pigments to it!! I hope this answers your question and thanks for watching!! Always, Leslie

any idea if I mixed glue with chalk paint if it would equate to gesso as it has calcium carbonate acrylic paint and added glue would be the 3rd ingredient right?

I've never tried that particular combo, if you try it, please let me know how it turns out! I prefer to use the calcium carbonate if I have it on hand, but it is quicker for me to just run to walmart and grab some baby powder lol!! Thanks for watching, Always, Leslie

can I use white spackle instead of using the white Elmer's Glue or flexible clear sealant it's like a calk made by Dap
@LesliesCreativeStudio
@LesliesCreativeStudio 7 жыл бұрын
Hi Casey!! So sorry in taking so long to respond! I had to think on this one as I have not used either product in my gesso making! I would think that you could use the white spackle (you could also use that as a form of texture paste). If you diluted the spackle with water, you could almost use any color of paint to tint it as well. As far as the flexible sealant, I'm not so sure. I would think that it would dry to a slick/smooth surface. With a gesso, you want a bit of "grit" or "tooth" to it, so that what ever mediums you use have something to grab on to, and the calk would not provide that. If you do try using these ingredients, please let me know how they worked for you!! You never know if you don't try!! Thanks for watching!!

Is that school glue or glue all? I bought a big container of school glue for pouring and was told I needed glue all. I was told apple white will crack in pouring( and it did). Could just be me🤔

I have always used the most inexpensive ingredients I could find!! I've never had trouble with using school glue, even though I know that some have warned against it. As far as the white craft paint, it may crack if it is old! Just fiddle with it until you get a consistency that works best for you!! Happy crafting and thanks for watching!!

Nice video. Did you use Talc baby powder, or Cornstarch baby powder? At timestamp 3:35 you said the paint was "Walmart brand" but the package said PLAID Apple Barrel Colors. Did you misspeak, or did you actually refill the PLAID container with Walmart white wall paint?

Hi Merryscrapper! So sorry in replying so late! I use cornstarch baby powder, and the PLAID Apple Barrel is the cheaper brand of paint available at Walmart! Hope that answers your question! Always, Leslie

Scrapn Life Away - you said you are skeptical about making Black Gesso. - Please View "Clive5art" video's, he explains in his video's how to make all three Gesso's. - Clear, White and Black Gesso. - Basically the same way as you do, except yours is in American Decimal measurements, his is basically in European Metric measurements. - Thanks for the lesson

Gesso is used to prep a canvas for acrylic paint. We use it in mixed media to do that and to also add texture to a particular project. If you look it up on youtube you will find hundreds of uses for gesso. thanks for watching!
