Inexpensive Substitute for Gesso

RE: Inexpensive Substitute for Gesso By Karen (Guest Post) Isn't gesso more of a primer for canvas? I make my own stretched canvas frames and instead of priming them with gesso I just use white latex paint.

I really hate to waste the money on the gesso.

Hope this helps.

I just use a plain white glue like Elmers although it certainly doesn't have to be Elmer's... I add water to the glue to the consistency that I need, and decoupage away. All the best.
