If you're NOT using Acrylic Gesso as an EASY way to improve your paintings then you're missing a trick! Let's fix that today 👍
So, why use acrylic gesso? Firstly - it's a great way to plan a painting. Secondly, it adds depth to your work. Thirdly, it creates an instant atmosphere so you can get into your art and release your creativity sooner.
I remember standing in front of a white canvas wondering where to begin. As a beginner, it's a daunting prospect. So try using Acrylic Gesso to open up an Easy way to start a painting. BONUS - try adding color too! Watch my tutorial of the Bob Ross classic 'Tranquil Wooded Stream' where I use Acrylic Gesso and coloured acrylics to make my painting POP!
