I admire the lack of preciousness in the preparation. I found, when it came to the painting itself, that that set the tone (no pun intended) for more spontaneous mark-making. Appreciated. Thanks.
This has helped me. I've been going in too heavy with paint in the beginning stages, wasting a lot of paint really, thats gets covered up. The excitement to paint takes over and a bit of planning is probably needed before I begin.
Just one suggestion: if your video is about “how to prepare the canvases for painting”, then tell the viewers exactly you use to prepare them. That will really make life easier for the viewers to follow.
Brilliant Geoff. Very informative and your voice is perfect for this. Very relaxing and calm. ❤
Thank you!
Beautiful painting Geoff...

Wonderful video! Hopefully this can motivate we to 'loosen up' a bit, something I find very difficult to accomplish...Thank you!
@@charlesa3374 Thanks for watching. Hopefully there will be more videos to help you to loosen up.
@@geoffchilton6781 Thanks for the response...I'll certainly be interested...

@@foreverjoy9334 Glad the video has been of use. The stain should be fairly watery; too thick and you lose some of its luminosity.
Afternoon the second application of gesso, what did you use for the third layer of blue stuff? Was it also gesso or oil?
@@oldmanandthesea7039 It was just watered down acrylic paint. Two coats of acrylic gesso and then a a wash of coloured acrylic paint.
