There are good ways to prime canvasses and bad ways.
Covering a 5'0" x 7'0" canvass with gesso using a 1 1/2" brush is a bad way. It made perfect sense when I started, but now, halfway through the first of three of these, I think I need a bigger brush.
That's today's project. Priming.

I'll....uh save you a spot at the cafeteria table...remember...pretend vollyball (they won't give us a ball) at 2pm sharp in the courtyard!
and yeah it is amazing how the canvas work can make or ruin a painting.
I should tell you about photo transfer to canvas some time...it's a neat process, and then you have to use gesso to seal the image to the canvas and add a sort of painted texture to the work....neet stuff.
Simple, no?
