I know nothing, but I've decided I'm going to start painting. I am going to order unprimed canvas, stretch it and prime it with Gesso myself. I need some tips from anyone who knows about this stuff.
I'd like to buy online, but don't know what brands are good or what stuff I'll need (gesso brushes? what size brushes for actual painting? what canvas weight: #10? #8? #12? Any tips on stretching and priming canvas?
I'm sure there are some painters here, or maybe just some folks who took some art classes in the past. Any tips on what I might need, what brands to trust and (even better) online sources with good prices... they would be much appreciated.
