You'll also learn what to use if you don’t have rabbit skin glue on hand and how to seal your canvas like a pro, ensuring your painting doesn’t soak through. I’ll demonstrate two alternatives: gelatin, which you can find at any grocery store, and a PVA wood glue method that also provides excellent sealing. Prepare your canvas and enjoy your painting session!
