Best Answer

There are different methods - the oldfashioned one, is to first stretch the canvas, glue it in with rabbitskin-glue, then put a gesso over it. Nowadays acrylic binder and gesso is much used, but this might not be a very durable procedure in the end (in house painting, everyone knows not to put oilbased paint over acrylic paint...).

Adding caseine to the gesso can help.
