I just took up painting, at age 60. All tips are gold to me. Thank you. Enjoyed your video.
Oh Ilse, what a great age to start painting! life at this age is so much more relaxed, and I think we learn better. I am glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you find more of my tutorials enjoyable.
I took a few oil painting classes back in my mid 20’s and loved it, but of course life got in the way. I decided to give it a try again about 3 months ago. I will be 58 this month.
@@katygutierrez9492 Kathy, back in the 1980's, I had a TV show in Arizona where I taight oil painting, but then went into the ministry. I just started painting again after 35 years!!! Oh, how I've missed it! Please don't ever stop!
You have such a pleasant voice and friendly delivery - a pleasure to watch.
Oh, I really appreciate hearing this Bobbie! Thank you for your comment and for watching. Hope all the tips are helpful.
When I first started painting I used dollar tree soap sponges for dishes. Worked amazing and pack of 8 or so for $1!!
Great little tip for the rest of my viewers Home Cooking! Thank you Dear.
A paint pad? What a clever idea! Thanks so much for sharing.
Simple and yet so effective Sandrine! Happy you like this idea. Thank you for watching.
@@PaintingWithYovette I bought one yesterday, I just have to try. Thank you again.
Dear Yovette,certainly you hv. Shared better options for gessoing a canvas.I never miss any of your vedos.Moreover your contagious , always a welcoming smile invokes a smile in me and that sweet smile
and useful hints makes my day.
Keep it up.God bless you.
You are so sweet in your comments Sujaya! Thank you. These are great hints for applying gesso! I am really happy you like them. You made my day!!! 💖 🙏
Thanks so much for this little trick. It is a great reminder to me to not make painting harder by thinking it’s different than all the rest of life. My mind makes it harder than it is, and I get scared out of it. Great tip!
I had to laugh D Falco, don't we artists often make things harder than they should be? I know I do! LOL Hope this little trick works well for you. Thank you for watching.
Hi Yovette, Those pads are wonderful when you are going to gesso a canvas and have a large class. My students can do their own now and makes my day easier. keep up the great tips!!
Well my friend, I owe it all to you, and I mentioned that in my video!!! So thank you for sharing that tip too! Anything that makes a teachers life easier is wonderful! Hugs
I love priming all my canvases with gesso! It really helps the canvas take the paint much better, especially if you are using a cheaper canvas😘 just found your channel, looking forward to watching some more videos! Thank you
I am happy you found my channel Joni, and hope you find more good things you like here. I liked your comment because I agree with you completely! Cheap canvases need a lot of help, LOL! Thank you for viewing!
Yes, thanks. Simple, straightforward advice. As a beginner 'getting the basics' is so very helpful. Thank-you.
I agree with you 100% Kathleen, These are great tips!
Yes! Thank you Yovette. You are delightful!
I am happy you like these tips Tahliah! And thank you for the complimnt! That was so nice.
Just found you this evening. Love the tips. I think it will work for my art journal pages too. Never thought of tinting the gesso for some reason. That can be a real time saver for me! Can't wait to try! Thanks!
I thought that was a great tip to pass on about tiniting Toni! Hope this and the other tips really work well for you. Thanks for posting!
What a very pleasant lady you are! It's just nice listening to your tutorial 😊
Aw, thank you Monkeyweather! That was such a very nice comment. Even if you are not an artist, thank you for viewing! I appreciate it!
Thanks so much for that tip! You're so sweet thanks.
That was a nice compliment Monte, thank you so much. Wishing you a wonderful day!
I absolutely loved the tips on applying gesso. This was a wonderful video for a beginner like myself.
I am so glad you enjoyed it Angelak! They are great tips that will save you a lot of time. I do a dozen at a single sitting which makes it even easier. You just need a lot of space. LOL
To not create waste you can also buy a reusable wider house painting brushes, like 3inch wide Purdy's, Wooster. I'd recommend getting the brush with narrow tapered handle. It make spinning the brush easier in the final stage of cleaning.
Good tip Shu, I looked them up online, and they look like nice brushes! Many will see this post. Thank you.
Thank you for your tutorial. It's very helpful. Especially the tinted Gesso. Will definitely try the tinted Gesso. ❤
I am glad this was helpful for you Fauzi. I often use a tinted gesso for projects. 🌹
Just discovered your channel.. Thank you for all the great tips. I am still a learner and appreciate everything that I can learn from all the lovely you tube tutorials. I subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos. Greetings from RSA
My, you are a long ways away Mari! And thank you for subscribing to me. I really appreciate that. There is so much to learn on youtube, you will find it a great source for everything. Just enjoy the learning stages. It will be lots of fun!
What a great idea to add a little paint to the gesso! Thank you!
I thought that was a great tip to pass on to my viewers Reniein! Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
You are a charming artist and a very nice lady
Thank you Alejandra for that very nice comment. Hope the video was helpful for you.
DEAR YOVETTE,
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THE TIP!!!YOU MAKE ME HAPPY WITH YOUR SECRET. GOD BLESS YOU ALL...!!!AND HAPPY PAINTING !!!
Aw that was such a sweet compliment! Wishing God's blessings for you also!
Hello! Just found your channel this morning and really loved the lesson you shared. I am new the the art world, and I have a couple of questions. 1) How do I know a good quality canvas from a not as good quality? Also, you mentioned about a cool or warm color for your gesso layer. Do you try to paint warm colored paintings on warm gesso? And cool on cool? I do see a place to see all your videos and I'll look there for answers too. I know this part doesn't make a difference in my painting, but, I love your voice and could listen for hours. So many on TH-cam don't. It makes it harder to listen to. haha. Best wishes.
Gosh I love your questions and comments Aimee! I am happy you found me, and I hope you find lots of fun things on my channel. A good quality canvas will be tight and sound like a drum when you tap on it, and the grains should run straight and smooth like in a fabric. A lot of artists tint their canvas before painting. Browns for a warm painting, and gray or blue/gray for a cool painting. There is no one way, it is just how an artist decides they want to do it. There is a lot to learn, so just watch a lot of artists, and see how they do things. Thank you for watching.
Painting With Yovette Thank You for taking the time to answer my questions. I’ll be watching.
@@aimeeelliott7608 Thank you Aimee!
I really liked the tip to use the edger.
Wasn't that cool Dawn? That edger has been a life saver for me. I do lots of canvases at a time and it sure does save on everything. Thanks for viewing.
I use a card. Like an old gift card or store card, etc. and spread it around scraping off the excess
That is a great tip too Lisa! That helps smooth out the canvas which I really love a smooth canvas to paint on. Thanks for viewing.
What a great teacher you are! Thanks for this :)
Thank you for the nice compliment Maria, you will love this in your art room.
I use 2 coat applied with the edge of a credit card to smoothing out rough canvas.
That is a great way to get a smooth canvas Judi. I have used that in the past also. Great reminder!!!
How poetic! credit cards can temporarily smooth out many things in life :)
You are my favorite! You just have sweetest spirit and your paintings are amazing! ❤️
Thank you so much Tracy! 😀 That was an extremely nice comment and I appreciate it! Stay safe! ❤️
I have a best kept secret to share with you too, the 8x10 stretched canvas's you get at the dollar tree are also gallery wrapped and pre-coated with Gesso and guess what?... they only cost a dollar! While it's true they don't feel quite as substantial as the more expensive canvas's, they only cost $1 and you don't have to do any prep to them if you don't want to, you can just unwrap and start painting and they only cost $1!!!!
I love that Quadflopper, and you are right, those canvas's are only a $1. Many of my followers buy from them already and they do work great! It is just a personal preference of mine to try lots of different products, and some I like better than others so I share that. Thank you for sharing your best kept secret with me. Lots of viewers will see this!
You’re the best for sharing the pad!! Genius!!
Glad you like the pad idea Lisajax! I thought the tips were awesome, and they sure helped a lot of people!
Nice! I have used those pads for a long time to paint rooms, never thought of using it for Gesso-ing. Genius! However, do you have any recommendations on cleaning it after use, since I would like to reuse it over and over, instead of having to buy new ones every time?
I have used them for a while. They clean out great with water and dish soap!
I do my first cleaning in a coffee can to get most of the paint out. Then I finish cleaning them outside with a waterhose and sometimes soap. They are definitely reusable, and no need to buy new ones. Thank you for your question.
Lisa I scrape the gesso off and back into the container then wash with warm water and dish soap 😁👍
@@moboda7233 That is a good idea too Mo!
Yes, great tip to use the trim pad!
I thought this tip was awesome, and just had to share it Tanya. Glad you liked it. Thank you for watching.
Hello! Great video much better than using paint brush to apply gesso. I assume you reuse the foam brushes? How do you clean the gesso from the foam applicator?
I do clean the foam applicators Mrs. D. First I blot out all the paint I can with paper towels. Then, I have a 3 lb coffee tin filled half full of water. I rinse the applicators in those best I can, then rinse outside with a hose. They come out like new!
Thank you so very much, truly. If you read this, I hope you’re having a blessed day doing something you enjoy
You are so welcome Preston, and I am having a blessed day just by answering the comments from my wonderful viewers like you!
Is it possible to paint over a previously painted canvas? I'd like to recycle an acrylic painting by applying gesso and repainting with fresh acrylic. Doable?
Yes it is. Even the old masters used to do this and beginners like me do it all the time.😁
Depends on if It's been varnished. If not, go for it.
I have seen a lot of people do this Kay, and I have reused canvas also. If it has a lot of texture, you will need to sand it some, or scrape with a puddy knife. Then just regesso, and start over. Here is a video that may help you where I corrected some mistakes. th-cam.com/video/r7FXDaWyNpE/w-d-xo.html
Great tip! I didn’t know that we could add color to gesso. Thanks !
Tinting is a fun way to undercoat our canvas Julie. Glad it was helpful for you.
Like your video, just subbed. But PLEASE in over 6 minutes, please tell us the purpose of gesso. What exactly does it DO for a painting??? I've used gesso and heard about gesso for many years, but STILL do not know exactly why artists use it. What is the benefit of usin g it???
Gesso preserves the canvas from deteriorating. This is important if you use oil paint. With acrylic it doesn't matter.
Gesso preps the canvas to receive the paint. It can also smooth the weave in the canvas. I paint with acrylic and to me, priming with gesso is a necessity
Great answer Shu, Thank you!
It is with me too Rea. I love a smooth canvas to paint on.
That is a great question Planet! Others have hopped in to answer your question and they are all correct. Gesso is like a white acrylic paint, only thinner. It dries pretty hard so it makes a canvas stiffer. It has more of a grain feel to it than acrylic, so paint sticks easier. My personal reasons for using it is becuase it makes the canvas much smoother, and that saves on the wear and tear of my brushes! Hope that helps!
Yes very helpful tricks! Thanks for your Very Enjoyable video, as I don't see a need to change anything here at all. Thanks for taking the time to post this, and if certain ones don't like it, they should go elsewhere! Always a critic lurking somewhere.
I appreciate that you also voiced your opinion Mary! I realize not everyone likes the way I teach, but it's OK. There are a lot of people who do like it and they come back! I am here for anyone who likes learning what I have to teach. Wishing you a wonderful day! Thank you.
Yes, the pad is a very helpful hint! Tyfs!
Very happy to share iwth you Sandra! You will love using this and the other tips. Thank you for viewing!
Im glad that more and more youtube painters are singing the praises of gesso! Lovely video, and keep spreading the joy of painting. ❤🤗
Isn't gesso a fabulous product Red Sterling? My next tutorial on November 1st will be gesso. Thank you for the lovely response!
Yes your hints and tips are always so helpful
Thank you Lee, I am pleased to hear that!
THANK YOU!!!! for sharing this knowledge. as someone who feels passionately about art but cannot go to art school, you have no idea how much you're helping!!!!!!!!!!!
You are so welcome Kaylee! If I can help someone, that makes me feel great! School is expensive, but there are a lot of good online helps, thank goodness. 🌹
I always used a Japanese spatula (or a soft, bendable, plastic one). I just pour gesso (I have mine in a bottle with a large steel ball bearing in it, so I can shake it like a nail polish) onto the canvas and spread it all over. The best thing is how quickly you rinse off the spatula (if there’s some gesso left, it goes back in the bottle, easy to do using the spatula)!
Fabulous idea Lotta Troublemaker! Love you channel name!
I started doing that about a year ago and was kicking myself for not thinking of it sooner! You use less gesso, you get better coverage, no brush strokes, and the best part? No shedding bristles! Man, those drive me nuts. I actually bought a disposable one that's styrofoam with the pad attached for less than a dollar at Walmart, then broke the end off, so I have one small pad that's maybe 1½"x2½" and the other is still 2½"x3½".
Boy Maggie, you hit every high point of using the pad for gesso! Love that no shedding part the best!!! Thank you for your comment!
I just want to say one thing you have a wonderful voice to listen to.
Oh gosh, I really appreciate that comment Lillian. A pleasing voice can make a lot of difference in what one is able to learn from a teacher, so thank you for expressing your thought.

Thank you so much! I’ve been painting for about a year and I absolutely love it. Now that I’m somewhat comfortable with the paint itself, I wanted to start incorporating some different things like mediums and gesso. I just got my first jar of gesso this morning (9/17/22) and this video was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again.
So glad this video could help Phil. There are a lot of great tips in this tutorial. Hope you will be able to use some of them.

Applying with the right kind of small roller works great also... especially for those of us with bad wrists
Yes I have used the roller too Mary, and it works also. Thank you.
I use make up sponges for the outside edges, love the results!
Wow Jenny, that is a great idea too! I had never thought of that, but it should work great! So many different ways to do so many things. Thanks for the idea. Lots of viewers will see this!

I used that technique and brushes also for years, I will do a video also to share with my viewers, it's great to be able to share your experience and ideas with new artists, I wish I knew all this when I first started. Keep up the great videos, they are very helpful.
Hey Allison, nice to see you again! Sharing with your viewers is a wonderful thing as there is sooo much to learn in the art world. Please remember to mention my channe when making your videol. You do a great job of teaching acrylics! Thanks for liking this video and thank you for posting.
Thank you for the idea of using the paint pad-thingy. I'm definitely going by Lowe's to pick up some.
I am happy you liked the idea S. Lynne! It sure has made my painting life easier!
You got me at LETS GET STARTED I LIVE UPUR VOICE OMG 😆 FROM AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺
Oh Australia! I have 2 kids that live in Perth! Glad I was able to get you! LOL. Thank you for posting!
Great tips!!!! Makes a lot of sense to me. Thanks for sharing😊❤️
I'm glad you liked those tips Suzanne, they will come in so handy. I know they have saved me hours. Thank you for watching.
Thank you, Yovette!
You are very welcome Leona, hope you enjoyed this.
That's for the tip.
I'll be most thankful to have a another tip,how to clean the bas of a small and big brush. I try's many good cleansers and even in a new brushes they didn't remove all the paint from them.
THANKS for your Tim.
Are you using acrylic paint or oil paint?
@@PaintingWithYovette oil paint
When I use oil paint, I use odorless thinner. I have 3 cleaning containers. The 1st container gets most of the paint out. The 2nd container cleans the brushes even more. The 3rd container is the one that gets the brushes really clean. I have a wire cleaner rack in the bottom of my containers to swish the brushes around. Then I hang the brushes upside down, handle up to dry. Hoping that helps you.

Kada koristim uljne boje, koristim razrjeđivač bez mirisa. Imam 3 posude za čišćenje. Prvi spremnik izvlači većinu boje. Druga posuda još više čisti četke. 3. spremnik je onaj koji četkice zaista čisti. U dnu svojih spremnika imam stalak za čišćenje žica za brisanje četkica. Zatim četke objesim naopako, rukovim da se osuše. U nadi da će vam pomoći.
THANK very many ♥️

You are welcome, hope it will work for you.
I love your teaching videos, Yovette. No matter how long someone has been painting, there is always room for improvement to fine tune one's skills,that is why I love watching you, Love, Holly Rose Lawrence.
Oh my gosh Holly Rose, I don't think I have heard from you before, but you are so right, no matter how much we know, we need to find more. I think that is the life of an artist, always seeking more knowledge, we never learn enough! So happy you enjoy my videos, and thank you for sharing that.
GREAT SECRETS! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
You are so welcome Peter! I thought this may help you!
I love the bigger thicker canvas. They are so nice.....
I agree Sue, they are really nice. Thanks for watching.
Thank you, Yovette! I have used the gesso brush, and now use the foam brushes. The pad is an excellent additional tool!!❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏
You will love the pad for applying gesso Suki! So quick and easy, and cleanup is fast and easy too.
Great instructor.!!!
That was a really nice comment Daniel! Love to share with my viewers!
Super idea
This really speeds up the gesso time Carol. I do many canvas at a time. Glad you liked the idea!
I love those sponges for painting walls, it never occurred to me to us it for the gesso. Thank you! :)
Once you try it you will love it Michele! It is such a time saver. Happy to share a new idea with you.
So agree was taught by my mother in the 70’s to use sponge brushes. Even with the art I do now I show on one of my videos before a paint pour sponge outer edge and sides before
I have never tried a pour Sharamay, but it does look like fun. One lady told me she gesso's the front nd sides of canvas twice, the back 3 times and it prevents sagging. Interesting! Thank you for your comment.
You are an absolutely beautiful artist you remind me of my mother and her artwork when you get a chance look at my channel I just started I’m trying this editing is mine boggling to me right now it’s a process yes my mother she always sprayed the back of the canvas with water to make it tight like a drum as I do on larger canvases for a pour I use a folded depends for sagging. But you know everybody can pour not everybody can do artwork like you’re doing hats off to such a wonderful channel we are an art family 💜
Yovette, this technique make it quick and easy. Thanks for sharing. Hope you are healing ok from your foot surgery.
Hi Jana, you will love this technique for quick and easy! Healing is slow. Went in today and all is coming along well so far. 2 more weeks and I get into a shoe! Yay!!!
Thanks for the neat hints!
You are welcome BB Jo. I love passing on whatever I can. Thanks for watching.
Very handy tips. While my landscaping painting style is different from yours, I’ve still learned some very handy tips. I particularly like your methods for clouds that work w/ oils (& acrylics)😊
That is great D. We all need those little tips. Seems a lot of methods work for both oils and acrylics. One just has to learn to convert it, Lol. Thank you for watching. 💚
Thank you so much for this information, very useful for my crafty needs! I appreciate it! :)
Yes they are such helpful hints Anna! Hope it really helps you.
What a revelation ! I am painting for 10 years and never came across the use of these sponge brushes. Thank you for sharing !!! I will definitely get some !
I keep learning new things all the time too Claudie! And it's so nice I can just pass it on to my viewers. Glad you liked the ideas, and thank you for watching.
Yovette, I just painted along with your Fall Reflections. A wonderful tutorial! I learned so much in 52 minutes. You make excellent points on mixing paints, and the correct loading of brushes and the palette knife. These are critical to applying paint correctly to the canvas! Thank you for being a patient teacher!
Fall reflections was fun, wasn't it Sam? It's one of the paintings that is not too difficult. I did a followup on it and changed it a bit, and I liked it better. Anyway, it is wonderful for a teacher to hear comments like yours. Thank you for watching and painting along.
No brush strokes in gesso - Yes! Love that smooth, smooth finish. Great ideas.
You are right Sharon, no brush strokes! And it is such a time saver no matter which method you use. Hope it helps you a lot in your art! Thank you for the comment.
Brilliant tips...I'm saving this clip.
It is such a handy tip Adri! You will find all the tips useful at some time or other. Thank you for watching.
That’s it’s lovely 💕
Thank you Anuradha, happy you enjoyed!
I finally bought an edger, and this is by far the best tool to gesso! Thank you!

Wonderful - and I already have one!!!
Well then Briana, you are ahead of the game already LOL! Just pull it out and start using it. I love mine, so fast and easy. Hope it works that way for you also.
Great idea, no loose brush hairs
