dragonvine091 has a spectacular aura about
Canvas priming for working with oil paints?

Hiya, i have recently been wanting to work wth oil paints. i have oil paints of my own, some turpentine and a rolled canvas.

I am really confused about how to prime the canvas ready to paint on- As i discovered it is extremely hard to paint on raw canvas!

It is from hobbycraft, and says it is primed, but i'm not sure if this is the important bit :S

I've read about gesso, acrylic primers, household paint, rabbitskin glue, PVA, and alsorts.

Just wondering if anyone could tell me a relatively easy and cheap way of priming my lovely new canvas!

i have PvA glue to hand and probably some emulsion somewhere. Is this all that's needed to be suitable for oil painting? or do i need lots of complicated gesso methods?

Thanks alot

Dragonvine
