How to Gesso a Wood Panel by Rachael McCampbell

This is a video showing how to easily “size“ and “gesso“ a wooden panel using GOLDEN acrylic products to paint on by artist and teacher Rachael McCampbell. Knowing how to properly gesso a substrate is basic to any artist’s repertoire. Rachael teaches workshops in the United States and abroad in acrylics, oil and cold wax medium. Rachael is passionate about sharing her knowledge about art with others and hopes her students experiment and have “fun with art.“ McCampbell’s work is collected internationally.
