I was regularly asked how I prepare my panels for my paintings.
So time to make a new video with the subject: How to make an artist panel with MDF and GESSO.

Let's get started!

Gesso is making a universal preparatory coat on various absorbent grounds and provides good adhesion for oil colours, acrylic colours, gouache, etc.
It's suitable for absorbent grounds that are free of dust and grease, such as artists' canvas, wood, MDF, plywood, hardboard, cardboard and paper.
Gesso can be coloured with acrylic colour, is thinnable with water and dries really fast.
After 24 hour it can be painted over with oil colour.
