HOW TO PREPARE YOUR CANVAS - For acrylic painting - Priming and stretching

In this video we'll go over what you need to do BEFORE starting to paint acrylics, if you want you artwork to last in time and be of quality.
When I first started out, I didn't know about priming and I created my first artworks on bare coton canvases ahah and unstretched of course... It's okay when your're starting out tbh because you're still testing out new things.. But at some point i realised that my works were of poor quality and UNSELLABLE. So the day i wanted to sell, well, could'nt do that.
SO : to avoid all that, here is a quick video telling you what's important to have a quality support to paint on !
If you have any questions, write them in the comment section ! :))

Hello, i want to use sizing on my pre primed canvas but i am not sure...would you use gac 100 on the back of a pre primed canvas as it is unprimed? And is it ok to use gac 100 on the front of a pre primed canvas? Can't seem to find the answer. Thank you for your video 😊

[@gabizatorre9339]

I am ready to paint.. 😄 Thank you for the detailed explanation. Julie, If your surface isn't smooth enogh, can you sand it softly?

[@juliegazounaud]

Awesome !! Yes you can, but I’m always kind of skeptic about the fact that you’ll get some dust from sanding on your painting. So if you do so, I’d put a layer of gesso on top of it, and reaaaally be careful to get out all of the dust and little particules that you sanded off ! 😊

[@Partdude]

Julie, Where do you get your canvasses from?

[@juliegazounaud]

Hi ! I get them from local shops, i live in france so not sure you will have the same ?? :/ the shops: Boesner, Cultura, le géant des beaux arts Sorry if this doesn't help you much :(
