Hello! I am looking to manufacture canvases and have received feedbacks from artists.
I was always curious as to why certain artists liked to prime their own canvases, and a lot of it seemed to do with the current pre-primed canvas market.
The problem being 2-fold, sizing and gesso.
Nowadays canvases are not sized but extra layers of clear gesso are added to stop oil from seeping through. My question regarding this is – is clear gesso a good alternative to PVA? How does it perfrom in terms of archival purposes?
Triple primed gesso seems to be the norm. What are the biggest challenges about it?
