In this fourth of four videos (plus a bonus video) in my DIY canvas series, we prime our textured DIY canvases to make them ready for painting. If you want to follow along, you will need some gesso, whatever color paint you like, and a cheap chip brush (hardware stores sell them for around $10 per bag dozen).

In this third of four videos (plus a bonus video) in my DIY canvas series, I show you how to make an interesting painting surface from common pieces of cardboard. In this video we use a plain brown paper bag for texture. If you want to follow along, you will need acrylic gel medium (or Elmer's glue), some cardboard, a brown paper bag like you get at the grocery store or wherever, and a cheap chip brush (hardware stores sell them for around $10 per bag dozen).

In this second of four videos (plus a bonus video) in my DIY canvas series, I show you how to make an interesting painting surface from common pieces of cardboard. In this video we use artist's tissue paper. If you want to follow along, you will need acrylic gel medium (or Elmer's glue), some cardboard, some artist's tissue (use the lighter colors so the dye won't bleed through your paint later on), and a cheap chip brush (hardware stores sell them for around $10 per bag dozen).

In this first of four videos (plus a bonus video) in my DIY canvas series, I show you how to make an interesting painting surface from common pieces of cardboard. In this video we use gesso. You can watch or follow along with me. Here are the items you will need: a piece of cardboard, some professional grade gesso (thicker type), and a putty knife, or business card, or some other piece of carboard to spread the gesso with.
