Work in Progress - A Painting

Step 1. Gesso the canvas. Actually, it's step 1b. 1a. Purchase the canvas. 24 in. x 24 in. wrapped, cotton canvas.

1 b. Now, gesso all 5 sides of the canvas. Gesso is a primer. Without it, the pain would just soak into the fibers of the canvas. Allow 24 hours to dry.

1 c. Apply a second coat. Allow 24 hours to dry.
