Are you painting with gesso on the canvas?

[@EVWIII]

Yes, after gesso, I apply a "ground layer". This is just a tonal wash over the entire canvas. It's helpful to part on top of a "color" or value rather than the stark white of gesso.

@@EVWIII What are the advantages of using gesso? Can’t I just buy the canvas and use it right away?

[@EVWIII]

The oils will breakdown the canvas. A protective, intermediate layer is needed.

Do you only paint with paint without using medium oil?

[@EVWIII]

Very little medium is used
