Painting

Plain Paint or Gesso?

Today’s question comes from Soroya and she asks:

“Is it ok to use plain paint prior on canvas or do you have to use Gesso? If so why. I am an American living in the UK and I find art supplies very expensive here. The gesso that is of a good quality is expensive, so I thought primer is not a bad cost why not? Thanks for any help in this matter.”

Do you have any information that might help Soroya?

Please leave your response below under the “Comments” Section. Thanks!

If you Need Gesso at a Discounted Price….
