Can you see the lines in the gesso? I bought some and i xan see the brush strokes when its dry

[@ginhearn9345]

TY for the recipe. It was extremely helpful information.
I would like to return the favor if you would not mind a couple suggestions for future videos. First, you might want to shorten the footage of your stirring, drying and any other process that people might find redundant and boring. Think to yourself "do my subscribers need instruction on this process? and if so, how much? If what your are teaching is something everyone knows, shorten the footage to just the salient points, such as how it would look when you start, that it will be lumpy. Say something about it taking a bit to stir and then show the consistency you are looking for when finished.
Second, you made a point of sharing the exact recipe, but if it is reversed on camera it just becomes a distraction. Try using your video editor to add superimposed text on screen or just tell us that the exact measurements are in the description (which by the way is extremely helpful - thank you).
Third, I am assuming that heat is necessary, because as a cook, I know that cornstarch remains milky unless heated, but you don't say that on your video. Try to include every detail that is important for success of the project.
Lastly, thanks again for your video. I will be trying this recipe and the one for texture paste. I love learning new money-saving techniques. I hope my advise doesn't upset you. I did not mean it in a hostile way. The last time I tried to make suggestions to a creator I was raked over the coals.
PS Calcium carbonate is available in bulk on Amazon and it isn't very expensive.

Have you tried using clear glue? Heating the pva can change the 'texture' compared to air drying, imho.

[@jenscraftedchaos6137]

No, but i will now.

[@meredithlillie1569]

Does this dry matte or shiny??

[@jenscraftedchaos6137]

Drys matte

[@bevp7838]

When you say “acrylic paint”, are you talking about craft paint, or something more heavy ?

[@jenscraftedchaos6137]

No no acrylic paint. 🍀

[@jenscraftedchaos6137]

How did it turn out once you added the acrylic?
