   The colours with gesso ask your art looks like thickness other people like what you to start with light colors first you to sketch in pencil on it helps you to put on the canvas to size the canvas to prime the painting oil until you guide to go by and provides base for big money.
   For the paint the consistency you to size the painting oil until you have fun and stroke away it sells for big money.
