I like the Daniel Smith gesso because it's fairly thick (for gesso) and covers well; as the can says, it only takes 2 coats to prime a surface where other gessos require 3 coats. Wolftrek (Deborah) I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to reply to your email yet! I will - it's just crazy busy right now, coming home from two weekends of agility and preparing for the summer workshop next week AND trying to paint. Oh, and I'm about to run into town and meet Janice and Sandra for coffee as they come through Missoula on their way to the Bison Range!

Where do you get the adhesive? I guess that brand of gesso can be ordered online or via one of the art catalogs. Is there something special about Daniel Smith's product?

Home depot will even cut them for you. perhaps it's unorthodox*, but I paint right on the panel. and for those who don't like painting on a smooth surface, most panels that i have seen actually have one rough side that has an imprint that's a lot like canvas weave. not exactly the same, of course. *PS I realize a lot of what i do is probably unorthodox. That's what happens when you learn to paint largely by trial and error -- except for Julie's workshop, of course. Mostly just errors in that case ( just kidding, of course :) some Home Depots sell 4 x 8 fiberboard panels. Home depot will even cut them for you.
