I've been researching Bouguereau a lot. He was starting and finishing full length life sized paintings in about 9 days. I've not read about him doing his one prepping of linen (gesso, sizing etc.) I feel Utrecht and Classens probably do that better than I might and personally I think artists should paint with color and let others do the preamble. Some folks love that and more power to them. I've tried and spent and great deal of time on these matters. Just stretching a large set of bars takes me over an hour to do correctly with preprimed linen.
