5 tips you should always do when using acrylic paint,Clive5art

Thank You! Such great tips. Will be trying them out this evening when pick up brushes. Wishing you a beautiful day!

I'm 66 and just starting, guess it's true. Never to old to learn. 🙂

Hi. I want to start acrylic painting on 300 gsm textured paper.. so this gesso need to be applied on it too.. thank you in advance..

They look like the tubs for ketchup in mc Donald’s that might be handy for paint

If I painting wood or particle board with a white shiny coating on it like shelves or cabinet doors do I still need to gesso a canvas such as this?

Extremely helpful thank you

Amazing thank you very much

Which tupé of gesso?

hi Sue from Australia I love the tips l just subscribed and can't wait for the next post so thank you for sharing

I just painted tonight and did not gesso my canvas 🤦🏼‍♀️😭 woopsie!

Hi what is the thing called you put on the canvas first? I'm sorry it's hard with the accent. Thank you

That was valuable information. Thank you

I just went to Hobby lobby here in the states and bought me some gesso for the first time. I am getting back into acrylic. I am not as profecient as you are but I am hoping to get there. I am 44 so I have a few years left of life to get good at painting lol. Great tips for a beginner like me.

Thank you so much for making video with such useful tips.. 👍 got motivation with this one.. 👍

I switched to oils about 8 years ago and have just started back on acrylics. These are all great tips! I'd heard of wetting the back of the canvas if it gets dented but never just as a general practice. Mixing colour into the last layer of gesso was new to me too. Most excited to try that wet palette though, I always thought it was just for saving paint between sessions. Thank you for making this!!

Thanks for your great video!
I am pretty new to painting, I am using acrylics and I already made a wet palette myself (because I'm always anxious that they will dry on me) so it was good to see I was on the right path. Now I have a couple small canvases I haven't used yet because besides the canvas boards that came with my original set I ordered a bunch more of different sizes and thought I would save my canvases for after I practiced on the boards and could paint something decent on them and make it worth it. So all my boards and I think the canvases come preprimed and gessoed; you recommend reapplying another layer of gesso on all of them? They are pretty cheap and have a rough texture so It would not surprise me I suppose! And I was just learning about underpainting myself lately so that's interesting you only underpaint if it's combined with gesso? I was thinking Id be doing it with just a layer of colored paint alone on literally my very next piece. I'm interested to know if I'd be very wrong. I don't have any gesso yet so it would be good to get your opinion if it's worth paying for it in my situation. 🧐🤓

Wow 62 and sitting in front of my first canvas in 50 years. I knew none of this and am so gladi clicked on you first. :) gutted I have more preparing b4 I begin. Thank you so much.

This video shows me how much mistakes i have made and how much time i have wasted with my paint drying so quickly when painting. Thank you!

Can I add retarder to my paint to help it from drying too quick?

Thank you so much!! ♥♥

Thank you, this is so helpful! I was going to paint on Terracotta pots with acrylics. I am now going to wet them before I start.

I'm 69 and a novice at this! Is there hope for me? This video just might be the answer!

Thank you. This was a valuable lesson.

GREAT THANKS

Help, I don't get the wet pallet.

Love the tips and the way you take the time to explain why.

after I have finished my acrylics canvas, do I have to spray it with something to make it more "solid"? Or is it just fine as it is?

I have been doing so many mistakes til I have found this video 😂 Im not gonna do that anymore
