thanks, this is what i had in mind all the time, while looking for some good infos. all of what i found was kind of all over the place. to simply seal the whole thing makes perfect sense, in my opinion.
The gloss medium seals the panel. This creates a barrier between the wood and the gesso, which prevents tannins and lignin from bleeding into a painting. Tannins and lignin in improperly sealed panels can cause paintings to yellow or get yellow splotchiness over time, which is known as Support Induced Discoloration (SID).
Hi Nepenthe, I wanted to follow up on your comment as Golden has revised their recommendations. Here is the latest info regarding preparing supports for painting: "When preparing wooden panels for acrylic painting, we recommend blocking against SID with 2 coats of Gloss Medium. When preparing panels for oil painting, we recommend two or more coats of acrylic Gesso, directly applied to the wooden support. When preparing canvas for oil painting, we recommend 3-4 coats of acrylic Gesso, or first sizing with PVC size, followed by acrylic Gesso."
Hey! I was curious what your recommendation for my situation is.. my husband works with wood and planed me out a beautiful piece with raw edges to paint. I wanted to paint a bird with no background just leaving it plain so the bird stands out.. how would you suggest doing this since the gesso is colored and that’s how everyone primed their wood? Surely this can’t be impossible!
@@mrswray Great question! If you want the wood grain to be visible, Winsor and Newton makes a clear acrylic gesso: bit.ly/ws-clear-acrylic-gesso (that’s an affiliate link, so I’ll get a kickback if you decide to buy, there’s no extra cost to you).
Hi Yuvika, I reached out to Golden and they said it's fine to use "PVA size or a matte acrylic like our Pastel Ground (diluted with a little water), Pumice Gel or Matte Medium" to seal wood panels.

@@reichhopprivatwatch1406 glad it’s helpful!
Very, very informative!! :)
Thank you, Irfan!
Hi, what do you find helpful about putting down gloss medium first rather than just directly using gesso?
The gloss medium seals the panel. This creates a barrier between the wood and the gesso, which prevents tannins and lignin from bleeding into a painting. Tannins and lignin in improperly sealed panels can cause paintings to yellow or get yellow splotchiness over time, which is known as Support Induced Discoloration (SID).
@@NikitaCoulombe Oh cool. Thank you!
@@syntacticalcrab for sure!

How long do you wait for the gesso to dry?
It's about the same as the gloss medium - 1 hour between coats.

Thank you so much for your reply! I had no idea they made clear gesso!
@@mrswray you’re welcome, hope your painting turns out well!
very helpful thank you :)
You're welcome, glad it's helpful!
Can i use matte medium instead of gloss medium for sealing the wood
Hi Yuvika, I reached out to Golden and they said it's fine to use "PVA size or a matte acrylic like our Pastel Ground (diluted with a little water), Pumice Gel or Matte Medium" to seal wood panels.
@@NikitaCoulombe Thank you so much Nikita. Really appreciate it❤️

@@NikitaCoulombe Hi Nikita, thank you so much for keeping us posted. That is so sweet of you❣️
For smooth sanding..it is better to use a bit of water with the sanding process
Thank you for the tip!

No glitter was used in this process, just gloss medium then gesso.
