[QUOTE="Carolina Photo Guy, post: 35167, member: 1556"] [ATTACH]5932._xfImport[/ATTACH] This canvas is now ready to have the gesso applied. Gesso is the primer of the art world. It gets the canvas ready to accept paint. [ATTACH]5933._xfImport[/ATTACH] This canvas has the first of 3 coats of gesso. I lightly sand after each coat. This helps me to control the "tooth" of the finished canvas. My next photos will be of the painting in progress. BTW: Some of you are wondering why I am going through this. Paintings that are IMPORTANT to me always get this treatment. Building the canvas from scratch helps to get me in the mood to do my best work. A pre-made canvas is just for practice. [/QUOTE]
