- Has your acrylic painting ever gotten damaged because of improper priming? This video will show you my technique for priming any wooden surface for painting with acrylics! This is to ensure that no cracking or chipping occurs.
The colours/materials that I used were:
Dala Acrylic Matte Glaze medium (or something like this: amzn.to/3QZ6IFb)
Mont Marte Gesso amzn.to/3d2PRBW
A paintbrush or two :)

As a beginner this has been very informative for me. I will use this for my first attempt.
Wonderful!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've learned a lot.
Thank you for this it’s very useful information 🌺
Glad it was helpful!
Im going to be using wood for my current piece because i need a bigger surface, and larger canvases are super expensive compared to a big block of wood.
So true!

Thank you so much 😀
Thanks!
Welcome!
i just used the paint without water do try this at home
Very informative
Thanks
Also, what do u do after the colouring? Like is there some process seal and secure the colours too ?
After painting with acrylic, I usually use an acrylic matte varnish to seal the paint, but you can also use the type of acrylic glaze medium that I used in this video! 😄
Thank you for this video I've been looking for something like this, will this prevent warping?
It should, because you are sealing the wood from all sides :) I've actually never had problems with wood warping. I don't think it will word when you do the same on canvas to try and prevent warping... Canvas can be a bit more tricky :)
Would mod podge work for priming?
Yeah, I want to know the answer to your question as well🤔
Are Varnish , gloss and glaze same?
Sandpaper: Which grit?
Thanks to you, I could know that my dad’s RUclips page was stolen.
Thank you so much ☺️👍
ROS art 😊
You're welcome!
What is GESSO ---can I prime raw wood with a DIY substitute -I live in Africa --thankyou
I tried this on a wooden box I was looking to paint using acrylics because painting on the wood. However, after adding two layers of medium gloss and gesso, the surface was still very rough and the wooden lines were very apparent. Would you have any advice?
I'm greener than novice, but I'd sand the gesso until it's smooth (not totally removed), perhaps add another coat, wait for it to dry, sand again (probably 240 grit if it's still rough), add another coat, wait for it to mostly dry (not cured), mist moderately heavy with water from a spray bottle, sand again (maybe with 320 grit this time), creating a slurry that helps smooth the surface. The next step would be to use a taping knife or wide squeegee to simultaneously pull off any excess water and smooth the surface. Give your project about 24 hours to dry. Then do a final light sanding. (All sanding I've described would be done pretty gently and by hand with a sanding block.) I'm gessoing my very first piece of wood, and I wouldn't know squat except for watching these videos that have been kindly shared by experienced artists.
The blue pigment added in gesso is acrylic paint?
Yes 😊
Wonderful video. It's very useful. Thank you for letting me know about the fake channel stealing videos. 5 of my videos were reuploaded by that channel. I reported to RUclips. Thank you so much 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Do you put anything on top of the acrylic to seal it?
What if you've already painted the board? 😬
Just sand it down and follow the steps outlined :)
painted my guitar without primer and it was a nightmare to remove paint
Can I use gesso instead of glaze ?
Seal with a sizing first. I use GAC100 as recommended for archival quality. Usually two coats. Porosity and roughness of surface due to grain raising are factors that I take into account as Masonite hardboard and birch plywood for example react differently. After drying and possible light sanding I then use Golden gesso. There’s a hard formula you can sand easy too, for boards with no flexibility. As I prep canvas and boards I just keep the regular Golden gesso. Usually two coat minimum. Well dried. Sanded each coat. There are very many videos out there. This video here isn’t the best in terms of fuller explanations and techniques. As proper archival sealing takes time you need to prep well ahead before commencing art work. Larger work requires thicker boards or what I usually do as I have a workshop, is cradle my boards.
Hey 😉
