  • In this video, I will show beginners two recipes for homemade gesso, using A) baby powder and B) plasters of Paris. Here is a comparison of the two gessoes. You can decide which one you like.
    The numbers indicate the mixing ratio. Instead of using a tablespoon, you can use a large container to make more gesso.
    Two recipes;
    A) Gesso with baby powder
    3 * Baby Powder
    1 * PVA glue
    1 * White Acrylic paint
    1 * water *Tbsp
    B) Gesso with plaster of Paris
    1 * plaster of Paris
    1 * PVA glue
    2 * White Acrylic paint *Tbsp
    I used these two gessoes to compare the surface preparation.
    Both gessoes give a nice texture to the cardboard. Each gives grip to the subsequent processing. The baby powder gesso is smoother to the touch.
    When applying the gesso, the colors of the acrylic paints are more vibrant. The texture of both can be controlled by sanding.
    Gesso of plaster of Paris will not swell the cardboard as much.
    Both can be stored in a capped container for several months.
