Why use a brush – wouldn’t a “pad” painter such as found in the paint department in hardware stores make the task neater and more efficient?
Do I always have to apply gesso over the canvas or the linen?
I think that, for the sake of preservation, one should always gesso raw canvas or linen.
Why is the canvas applied on the flat side of frame an not on the side with elevated edges?
Can muslin be used as a canvas?
Excellent content & very clear. Am I the only one who finds the background music intensely irritating?
hi I cant download any other than the first of these videos?
Yes, the volume of the background music fluctuates which is irritating, but the content is extremely valuable
