Creating Amazing Texture with Paint

  • I sometimes add materials to my paintings, like paper, to create texture. Today I want to share with you a way you can create amazing texture with just paint. You make this texture with gesso before you start your actual painting. It creates effects that stay with your painting so you can bring it forward anytime by sanding, or cover it up with more paint.
    It’s so cool to have this kind of texture already on your panel before you start a painting. I love how the paint gets caught in little nooks and reveals details that would take so long to actually paint. It adds a richness and is fun to try because you never know what you’re going to get!
    What are your favorite ways to create texture?
    Let us know in the comments.
    Have a blast making texture today!

    I've been chasing textures and this is something I haven't tried yet. It's so obvious, but I completely missed playing with the gesso layer other than tinting it. Thanks for the great video!

    This is awesome. I love texture and have done some of this but, now I have more ideas as to how to expand my tool kit for mark making in the gesso, and how to achieve an interesting painting. with a lot of experimenting going forward. Thank you, Nicholas. I really needed to see this today!

    Great idea, using gesso for texture! I have used molding paste, which creates a thicker layer (on wood or rigid substrate), so the texture is more obvious, but this method works even on paper! Thanks.

    Love this video! I've done modeling paste and gesso. One time I used thick-bristled brushes with gel medium, and the effect was very much interesting -- it not only added "signature brushstrokes" to my artwork, it also provided a good foothold for other materials or medium like pastel or charcoal when I went crazy over the layer later on.

    Thanks! This was such a great video. I’ve used gesso a bit for texture, but never like this. I’m definitely going to experiment with this and try it in my own work.🥰

    Hi Nicholas
    Would you make a video on how you name your abstract paintings. I find giving my work titles very hard as I am an intuitive artist and the work doesn’t have any meaning to me and I don’t work from a reference

    I can't see white on white. Maybe cream paper would've been better
