    It's called gesso (the "G" sounds like a "J"). It's a mixture of calcium carbonate, latex, and usually titanium oxide (to whiten). You can buy it pre-mixed at craft stores. I'd recommend using only one coat since it may crack if it's too thick.

    Hope that helps :)

    Thanks, great video.
    I taught myself all of this but could have saved tons of money and frustrated pieces of art if I would have seen this video first.

  • Hello, I am a ...

    Hello, I am a beginner and need some information. Does i need to use water for acrylics? And how much? And I always paint landscapes, but I can get te natural colours, like a nice green colour or making clouds. If I use the wave pencil(the one who's another like the rest) and i use it with water I can't make nice clouds. Can someone tell me the problem?

  • Yeah, you're right ...

    Yeah, you're right about the brown colour. I realised this myself after I'd posted the vid. Blue would have been better. However, if someone learns from my mistake, then the 'poo painting' has done its job in a way I didn't quite intend...!

    Cheers
    Bob
