Thank you for showing ways to save money while still being able to enjoy painting.
Your welcome
I love your show and learning to save lots of money.
Thank you
I was just wondering last night if I could make clear gesso! And this popped up today. TH-cam is reading my mind
😂😂🌈
Thank you again for your willingness to share your knowledge with use and not keeping it to yourself. I truly appreciate you and what you do.
That's so kind thank you 😊
CLIVE5ART I wholeheartedly agree, you've obviously spent much time and effort to have the breadth and depth of knowledge you have. You explain things without pretention and in a clear easy to grasp way that's a real treat for a 'layperson' like me. Thank you.
I actually used corn starch. I didn't like the baby powder that people suggested, and not crazy about chalk. I had some corn starch that was past it's freshness date and that worked wonderfully!
So let me get this right. Water, baby powder, glue.........
Fantastic !!!!!!!
You are very generous to tell all the secret recipes and tips... very thankful to you 👌👏💗
I wish i have a cool grandfather like you to teach me all those knowledge.. 😍
Lol wish I had one all those years ago too would have been much easier
Thank you Clive, for your generous gift of knowledge. You are so helpful!
Thank you
This is by far the best art channel on TH-cam! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! :)
So kind thank you
Clive, I wish you were my next door neighbor, and I mean that from the heart.
+kraftymomma1979 Oh thank you im sure it would be great painting and exchanging ideas my neighbours have no idea what I do in my studio
I wish he was my husband
You know I like the explanations for everything..give me a little longer tutorial any day for clarity...leave me without questions. Thank you so much.
+Fontella Henderson thank you why rush the info that's what I say
I've seen videos that artist just use dollar store baby powder, elmers glue clear or white, and water. It works well and you can make it thicker or thinner to your needs.
I love your bracelet Clive🙏🙏🙏
Just made my first batch of Gesso using your powder and reciepe Clive. Goes on like cream - very nice. Just waiting for 2nd coat to dry so I can get down to the serious business of painting. For anyone who hasn't tried it, Clives Gesso powder is good stuff!!
Thank you for your support
So so funny! I was searching youtube this morning looking for recipes on Clear gesso & here you are, my savior. Many thanks!
Lol thanks don't forget to always shake it all gesso in fact as they will settle

Your welcome 🙏 thank you for your support
This is an awesome lesson. From Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada.
Big thank you from wales
Oh I loved the ketchup squeezy bottle idea - what a fantastic idea!! I'm going to start making my own gesso from now on after watching your videos - and will be eating ketchup with every meal so i can get the bottle empty! Thanks so much for your video .
lol I eat a lot too but they are good containers good to recycle ♻️
CLIVE5ART Would well-rinsed pump bottles from liquid hand soaps work?
Helen Lowe i save all sauce bottles,grate for having mixes for pouring and all kind of crafts..I actually save all containers and even paper from packaging.always reuse them atleast as pallet where mix paints before throwing out,instead of tear away palette paper as example 😉
I love saving money !!
Truly appreciate your videos to help us save money and giving painting tips.
Thank you so much

Great stuff. Thank you,Clive. I definitely want to be able to make my own Gesso,and,some liquid clear. When I learned art years ago,we didn't have all these fancy things,and,yes,the expense is a bit daunting,and,off-putting,so I would like to follow up on what you do.
Thank you for sharing your hints,and,advice.

Thank you, much appreciated.
Thank you
thank you so very much. my new favorite artist!
That's so kind thank you
Thank you for saving me money, Clive! I have my calcium powder, glue and distilled water... Ready to make some gesso!
Great news
Just saved me a few quid I can airbush this, it makes a good model primer and if thickened a good primer/filler on plastic model kits. It sands well and takes airbrushed acrylics very well. I was paying £7 to £12 for 12/15ml of primer/filler primer from the manufacturers. Thanks for the video m8. I have subscribed and will browse thanks again.
Excellent that's made me happy that I helped
Find you! I cant wait to use this! And watch you!🙃😉☺️
Awesome! Here in the country I live gesso is even double so this is the answer to my problem.Thank you so much Clive!!
+inge koltes happy to help
Thank you kind sir. You saved me a ton of money.
So happy I could help
I was just about to buy some clear gesso when I thought "I wonder..." and found your tutorial. THANK YOU. You have saved my pennies and another huge telling off from my old man. Big Hugs.
It works well
Well, that was informative. Wish I had known that before I spent a ton of money for a year on buying gesso.
At least you will save now 👍
And here we have the decade of CliveMixHomeMadeGesso.
Clive goes global.
😂
By the way Clive I love your little song at the beginning of each video x
Thank you I have a ring tone also it drives Jayne mad lol
Your man tool! Thanks for sharing your recipes with us. :-)
Skye I did notice that it settles a lot so shake it well before use I'm working on a way to thicken it up but its ok to use like it is it's just thin I'm going to do some more research in the thickening agents
Fantastic! I'll be making some clear gesso very soon, thank you
It will look milky but will dry clear
Clive - did you know that you can make your own calcium carbonate from egg shells? They need to be clean, so boil them for 10 minutes or so after you clean them. Then let them dry overnight and in the morning put them into the oven (200F) for about 10 minutes. Then you just grind them up in a coffee grinder until they are a powder. You can use the powder for your calcium carbonate in this gesso. Just thought I'd let you know. :)
Ok I guess but wow you would have to eat a load of eggs
LOL! Or have all of your friends save the shells for you. Easier to buy the stuff, I guess. ;)
I really like your videos Clive but I wish everything wasn't engrams because I live in California and it's hard for me to figure out what the difference is thank you for all your secret recipe I'm so lucky to have found your TH-cam channel
Thanks so much , I'm in your family group.
Oh thank u for all u.do.have a fun day.
Ahhhhh... yes, a commercial or industrial grade might be waterproof or more water resistance. Thanks, Clive !! Best wishes.... Ax
Thank you sooo much! ✌️
Thank you
Hello, thank you so much, this is brilliant! I know this is one of your older videos but, I was looking for a video teaching how to make homemade clear gesso, and I'm so glad I've found you! I've already just subscribed, and hit the bell for notifications. You seem like a really nice man, and I like you a lot! I'm almost 50 years old, and I've recently been trying out my hand at a few different art mediums. Somehow, I really didn't ever learn about art in school, I wish I had. I used crayons in cheap coloring books as a kid, and that's about it. I've always sort of secretly longed to be an artist.
I did as a kid, and an adult try to draw every once in a while but, I'm definitely not a natural. I am finally learning about art through youtube videos. Drawing and all art will need to be a skill that I'll have to develop over time through learning, and much practice. I'm disabled, and no longer have a job, so I have loads of time. Unfortunately, I have very little income, although I have been purchasing small amounts of art supplies. So, I do have bits and bobs, which I'm quite grateful for.
I live in the Pacific Northwest; Washington State, USA. And here we have this real popular thing (it may be popular in other areas, I'm not sure). We have this thing called, "Vancouver Rocks"...people paint on, mainly flat stones and hide them for others to find. Many of the stones are gorgeous works of art. People mostly use acrylic paints and spray them with a clear waterproof sealer. The children in my apartment community spent a lot of time this last spring and summer (which here, is quite short, only about 4 to 5 months of playing outdoors weather)...they spent a lot of time hunting for these rocks which gave them joyful delight when they found one, especially a "good one". They all had their own treasure finds that they carried around with them every day. The children also paint and hide the rocks, which are mostly what they would find. I don't think there are any adults or older kids painting and hiding rocks in our little community. The "good ones" that they had found were generally found when they went on outings with their parents.
I like to sit outside on a blanket when the weather is nice, and the children spend time with me talking, and also sharing their rocks, and stories with me, which I adore! I checked youtube, and found that there were indeed videos teaching how to paint rocks. I believed I would be capable of painting some at least decently pretty stones. I decided I really wanted to do this for the kids. I began searching around for flatish stones, or otherwise good looking specimens. For instance, I found one that looks very much like a shark, and could stand alone, looking like it was coming out of water, and it has sort of cracks and details, like a shark...especially the mouth. Anyway, I was able to buy an inexpensive set of 24 small tubes of acrylic paint, and 2 ounces of both black and white. I then got some tools to apply the paint, and finally the spray to seal them.
By the time I had all my supplies ready the weather had changed, and it began raining. We get a whole lot of rain here, actually about 35-45 inches per year and most of that is in the fall. Then it is mostly just cold, until sometime in the spring. Children generally spend time playing outside between the months of May-September. Now, I have everything needed to paint the rocks, but, sort of lost motivation for that (until it gets closer to spring time, probably I'll start working on those within the next 2 months). Meanwhile, I'm beginning to learn to draw. I haven't gotten very far, but I have nearly completed one piece, that I am about to frame and give to my adult son. I did this with the soft core wax based Prismacolor Premier Pencils. I was able to buy the set of 72 colored pencils. Which, I'm still learning how to use, and have done just this one project with.
I've also recently purchased several "adult coloring books". There are many videos on adult coloring books, and people are coloring beautiful works, and even framing them. I'm hoping to learn to become good at this. I'm planning to use my wax based colored pencils for this, and I am expecting a delivery tomorrow of a set of 72 watercolor pencils I've ordered. Which has brought me to wanting to try using clear gesso on the coloring pages. I've seen other colorists do this on youtube videos. I haven't got enough money to purchase gesso now. I'll have to wait until next month...26 more days exactly.
That's what led me to this video :-) Unfortunately, I've only got access to the glue, and the water. I haven't got any talc, or baby powder. I'm wondering if maybe cornstarch would work for this??? Or, I've got baking soda (NaHCO3, aka sodium bicarbonate), and I also have sodium hydroxide ( NaOH or HNaO...Sodium hydroxide is very corrosive. It is generally used as a solid or a 50% solution. Other common names include caustic soda and lye. Sodium hydroxide is used to manufacture soaps, rayon, paper, explosives, dyestuffs, and petroleum products.). I use it to make soap. So I have corn starch, sodium bicarbonate, and sodium hydroxide. I also have white crafters acrylic paint, which is pretty runny.
Do you think I have anything that will produce gesso? I may have to just wait the 26 days, and buy more supplies. But, I figured it couldn't hurt to ask :-) Right? I hope you see my post! Thank You, Very Much!
Talc, baby powder, baking powder can work what a fantastic comment it’s easier for you to email me as I’m limited to my response here contact Clive5art@yahoo.co.uk

+Dawn Durantos thank you friend
Nice invitation thanks
Thanks
Thank you so much, appreciate it for the great tip!!
Thank you 😊
Heya Clive I know this is a very old video but I didn't know if you were aware of more recent discoveries. Talc in it's natural form contains asbestos and can cause cancerous tumors so you should always wear protective gear when handling it, gloves and a face mask are the absolute minimum to keep yourself safe. You can buy a product known as asbestos-free talc but even there lab results on whether it, too, causes tumors is mixed with no clear indication on whether it's ACTUALLY safe. So please insure you don't touch or inhale ANY talc. If you have pets please make sure they are also out of the room when working with talc!
Talc is used as a cosmetic product and is 100% safe however I use calcium carbonate which is pure chalk not the same thing
Hi Clive! Thank you very much! Your videos are interesting and instructiv.
Thank you I'm glad your enjoying the channel and the lessons
Clive
This is really nice. A lot of people would learn how to make it cheaply and then rather than tell everyone, sell it in their own shops. I really appreciate that you didn't.
going to try this recipe tonight. hope I don't make too much mess Hahahaha. love your tutorials and your work . excellent 😀
Hope it turned out
Hello! New subscriber here. You're videos are excellent! Super informative and accidentally funny! I accidentally stumbled upon one of your videos, now you've become my "go to" place for painting answers! Thank you for your extensive knowledge and willingness to share it!
That's so nice thank you
Thanks Clive for an excellent video presentation.Saw a small container of gesso for $23.00 USD recently 12/23/17.
It’s expensive stuff for what it is chalk and paint really
Instantly subscribed after this
شكرا 😊
+malak shusha :-)
Excellent 👍 😁 thank you so much for this. I've been watching your videos for the last month and I've been trying some of your egg video stuff and it's working im not wasting money on bottles. I'm reusing a lot of stuff instead of just throwing it out. For the inspiration I really appreciate your very inspiring..and I hope one day that I can be at least half as good as you are. Thank you keep up the good with all the love and light

I'm new at painting and love using alcohol inks to paint. I tried on canvas, not knowing that I had to prime the canvas...it looks great but I think I should have used Gesso to prime the canvas before I painted and I don't know if I need to set the painting with something else after I'm done. Can you help?
You should be fine I think next time try it and see if it makes a difference
I am from Canada, way to go !!!
Does it have to be the one that’s bleached?
How much of each of the powders: talc, carbonate, and mica are you actually mixing together to make your, 'gesso powder'. That's the only measurement you didn't specify.
How can you call it 'clear' gesso when the 'medium' / product base you use is white (i.e. school glue)
When you say, "talc" are you referring to talcum.......as in talcum powder which, is the main ingredient in baby powder?
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with the world !!
All the ingredients are in the description the PVA is white and dries clear same as store bought
Great tutorial!🌻
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!!
Your welcome thank you
