Is that water you mixed with the PVA? Is it necessary to add gesso after the PVA?

Thanks for the video, just had a light bulb moment I will be looking for the ply in my local DIY store they have odds and ends for the donation to charity My son has a nice big workshop with a real nice bench saw guess who's going to be busy after lock down i'll tel him it was Clive's idea. lol!

I was wondering if you can use this method of sealing wood for oil paintings on basswood?

[@romanengelbrecht6717]

You see my problem when it came to woodworking was I was to eager to get started on projects and never took the time to learn the less common basics I mean this could qualify as a trade secret cuz it's never something I considered I would just sand with fine grit, paint then finish I clearly have a lot to learn I was happy with my projects but I could be happier, cool video I learnt a lot

Hello 👋, this may be a silly question but if you don’t mind me asking why don’t you like painting on MDF ? I’m asking because I had came across another artist and they swear by it. And so I had actually looked to get some yesterday. But not that I’ve seen this I’m not to sure that I want to do that! Thank you 🙏

I rather paint on ply wood as it’s more my thing mdf is medium density fibre board I’m not a lover of the surface

Any tips for prepping a wood board that will be outside? Will PVA work outdoors if it's sealed after painting on OBS board? Thanks Clive!

[@HenkJanBakker]

PVA is pretty solid stuff. As long as it isn't in direct constant contact with water. But if that happens with an outdoors painting I guess you'll have bigger problems. ;-) I would recommend waterproofing both sides of your painting with an epoxy sealer. It will (literally) last a lifetime and does not really matter what you sealed in it.

Hi Clive, your videos have really enlightened me on so many ideas for mediums and painting. A big thanks! I did have two questions: 1. Do you know the ingredients or formula for acrylic matte medium? 2. Is there a substance I can put in washable PVA glue(Elmer's School glue) that can make it water proof? Thanks in advance.

[@CLIVE5ART]

Matt medium is pure acrylic resin so it can’t be mixed. All pva is water proof to my knowledge

as usual clive a really enjoyable video,very informative , pleasant , some people like the prepping and potching more than painting, i understand that , only one thing ive seen many such videos , all correct as such , but after giving it a few coats, a sanding or two in between ,another coat ect the painting then turns out a flop, my point ? well, way to much trouble and work to end up with nothing after all that time and trouble as most peoples hit rate is 1 out 5 a success ? ish maybe less.. so one sand to stimulate the fibers, one good coat pva to dry, one very good coat of a gesso like ground to dry and away to go.. but people say , but it will peel off , if wont last , in a hundred years my picture will b spoilt ! come on guys do you really think anybody will care about your work, my work ? but you cant get through to some, some love to suffer for their art!! but your video is as, usual really good clive, but i feel this method prescribed by many, is very hard work,very very time consuming , to much time prepping boards in general... take care.
