What is Gesso and How to Use it for Mixed Media Projects

[@kingtigerbooks1162]

Great video from a wonderful channel. Art books have provided me a much-needed escape from real life. I have my easy chair set up with a desk, a lamp, a blanket and a cup of coffee. I spent many hours with dragons, unicorns, space battles, pixies, knights, and now with my National Geographic books, the vast undersea world of the coral reefs. My art books are the best investments I ever made. My 3 favorite books are: - Wonderworks by Michael Whelan - Infinite Worlds by Vincent DiFate - Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

Love this, thank you!

I love clear gesso but like you said it has its place - I like using it when I am doing a more abstract fun style art page that’s more texture based then shape based - I would hate it for more face / subject matter style pages. I am not going to lie I never thought to mix it for skin tones ... it should be common sense but never thought of it! So thanks for that lol!

Yeah, it's weird stuff the clear! Altho a sub (above) mentioned the Dina Wakely gesso isn't granular so maybe we could both give that a shot some time!

Stunningly beautiful. I never thought to use gesso, clever. I’ll have to give it a try..😊 Someone else asked if the stabilo will run if you try to seal the artwork.....have you had any experience, good or bad with this?

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Great question! If you activate all of it with the Gesso, it shouldn't move too much again. But to be safe, just use a spray. I love Americana Acrylic Spray/Sealer!

I got some whit gesso in a jar, and it's pretty thick and opaque (compared to what I've seen you use). Am I using too much? Can it be watered down?

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

It's probably just a different brand. I wouldn't add water, it's pretty much the perfect formula! Grab some Liquitex!

[@nicoleallen7254]

What type of stabilo pencil did you use please so I can give this a try. Also what type of brushes did you use with the gesso to do the face? Thanks so much 🙏

[@ValleyMermaid]

Doesn’t the gesso ruin your paint brushes? And what did you do this project on? Was it on watercolor paper or a canvas board? I’m wanting to attempt this. I skipped it when I first came across it in the Mixed Media Society class, but I’ve gone back to this module because I have stabillo alls now. This looks super hard and advanced.i know I can’t do the hand for sure! But the skin tone looks very difficult too.

Hi there, thanks! Do you mean just art made with colored pencils only? Ya know, just colored pencils doesnt pack enough color power or enough emotional punch!! Lol! I have to couple them with acrylics or watercolors or alcohol markers, just SOMETHING to kinda produce more of a colorful effect. Does that make sense? I'm sure there are lots of KZbin artists that do tho!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@MRosado383]

oh, ok Karen, but can you make a painting using colored pencils and other paint like acrylic? What happens to me is that I would like to learn a mixed paint with colored pencils, acrylic paint and maybe even use gelatos in the same art. If you can look at my instagram instagram.com/mayrarosadoart/?hl=en and give me your advice I need them and I value a lot. You were my inspiration for me to decide to paint.

loved your video, what did you use ti glue the printed paper and flower, clear gesso? how long does it take for that gesso to dry so you can paint over it ? thank you.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Great questions! So Gesso isn't an adhesive, it doesn't really make things too too sticky. I use Matte Medium to glue things down. I always use a hair dryer to dry my layers because I have 3 kids and I have too much to do to wait around for things to dry! So it takes probably just a quick minute or so with a hair dryer. The Gesso is the actual "paint" that you see me using, so it is used wet on wet, same as paint. Hope that clears that up!
