This is a video showing how to easily "size" and "gesso" a wooden panel using GOLDEN acrylic products to paint on by artist and teacher Rachael McCampbell. Knowing how to properly gesso a substrate is basic to any artist's repertoire. Rachael teaches workshops in the United States and abroad in acrylics, oil and cold wax medium. Rachael is passionate about sharing her knowledge about art with others and hopes her students experiment and have "fun with art." McCampbell's work is collected internationally.

On minute 4:15, I talk about using a squeegee to smooth the gesso out. The small gray squeegee I purchased from www.squeegeepress.com. They have a variety of sizes. The smallest one comes in red now which is better --harder to lose that way. coldwaxacademy.com/squeegees/

For the larger squeegee, the blue one, I bought that at messermeister.com:
