QUESTION ABOUT CANVAS BOARD BEFORE I START PAINTING?

Question by Reiley R:
Question about canvas board before i begin painting?
I got some “Master’s Touch” artist canvas panels from hobby lobby to make some christmas presents on, but i have only worked with paint once before in a class. i am wondering if i need to geso these boards before i use them. the only reason i ask is because on the package, it states “acrylic primed for use with all mediums”

does that mean that i do NOT have to geso it before painting?

i really would like these to turn out nice!

Most all canvas boards are sold primed or gessoed and they are ready to go. But if you want additional coats of gesso would not hurt.

if canvases are pre-gessoed, and appear to be covered, you might not need to add new layer,
if the surface of canvas texture seems rough or coarse, and you want smoother surface,
you can apply another layer before painting,

No, you do not NEED to geso but it doesn’t injured any if you do, is all.

Before you start, make some sketches on some spare plywood, before you runi any canvasses..!
