Sizing is the method of sealing the surface and forming a barrier layer between the support, and the ground and paint layers. When a layer of sizing is applied, it decreases the absorbency of the support. In the absence of this layer, the cellulose fibres of the support can soak up oil from the ground and paint, leading to it rotting.

Gesso is a white paint mixture consisting of a binder mixed with chalk, gypsum, pigment, or a combination of all three. Acrylic gesso is an alternative to real gesso, possessing a similar absorbency or tooth that one expects from a gessoed surface.

If you’re using oil painting primer, you need to size your canvas with rabbit skin glue. Sizing needs to seal the surface and sit on the canvas to prevent anything going into the pores. The movie mostly hews to the view of Frida as a feminist icon who overcame a disability to become a great painter. Frida had polio as a child and, at 19, was hit by a bus shattering her spring and pelvis, leaving her in lifelong pain.
