Want to make your own toned panels? 

• Dominique makes her own gesso panels by buying hardboard from home depot and cut it down to 11”x14” one full sheet gives you about 25 panels. And costs less than $20. That said HD will only make one or 2 cuts. You will need someone with access to a table saw to cut it down. If you are planning on doing a lot of painting this is a good option. 

• Richeson sells precut hardboard panels if you would like to make your own gesso panels https://amzn.to/3zqYsE1

• Gesso I use Utrecht professional gesso and mix it with black gesso to get a gray gesso, aim for value 5 or 6 on the value scale https://www.dickblick.com/products/utrecht-professional-acrylic-gesso/
