I learnt a lot from a single video of your paintings. I can draw well with pencils, but recently i have deceloped an excitement to become a master in Painting too. And the problem i was facing was that i was unable to imagine the whole process from starting to the end.

Just amazing! Question- do we need to use gesso or prime canvas with a coat of paint on before painting? I use ready to paint canvas but stil my paint strokes do not come that smooth and sharp on the raw canvas.

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

I mostly use Canvas directly as it is pre primed. But applying a layer of gesso or a plain white coat gives a better surface to paint.
Thank you so much.

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

It's not an issue actually. Just spray water mist on your palette to keep the paint moist as long as you want. It works so well. Try it. I am doing the same. No retarder or medium at all. Thank you so much for watching 😊🙏

[@tapasghoshdastidar7334]

So perfect,amazing. How to keep the canvas 10×12 ? In standing position or keeping flat.? And how to start the sketch? Perfect proportion from mobile for potrait is required, is not it ?Please guide.

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

It's always better to keep your canvas vertical. Only then you can see it proportionally. Fix it to a board if you are using canvas pad or paper with masking tape.
