Artist Statement
Plain Paint or Gesso?
Today’s question comes from Soroya and she asks:
“Is it ok to use plain paint prior on canvas or do you have to use Gesso? If so why. I am an American living in the UK and I find art supplies very expensive here. The gesso that is of a good quality is expensive, so I thought primer is not a bad cost why not? Thanks for any help in this matter.”

How To Clean an Oil Painting?
Today’s question comes from Tom, and he asks:
“I have a large dark oil painting, very dusty, I need to clean it and retouch it (I am the artist who painted it). It was glazed and varnished with Liquitex. Once cleaned and retouched, I intend to use Liquitex again. I heard somewhere I could use white bread to clean the surface. Is this a realist means of cleaning?”
