How to apply traditional gesso

How to apply traditional, non-acrylic gesso to a panel for painting in oils. Please note: Each coat of gesso dries quite quickly. About half an hour in the summer, but longer in the cooler seasons, when each fresh coat should be left for at least an hour before sanding. For a demonstration of how to make the gesso itself, see:    • How to make traditional gesso   If you've found this useful, a small donation would help a lot: https://paypal.me/jamesking525
