I sure do- i just discovered MEDIUMS. OMFG!!! I am currently using Golden Gel Medium (regular matte). It thickens the paint without changing the color of it and lets me shovel it on thick without wasting PILES of acrylic paint. I also suggest not sticking to cheap paints. I did for years and now I know the diff.
I use mostly Winsor and Newton as well as my fav - Grumbacher. Sure they cost more but the color is more true and BOLD and you use less of it, especially if you use mediums. I am finding myself using less and less water while I paint.

I am hoping to do some youtube videos soon of my painting style..i watch other people on there and i paint totally different. LOL!

Nope- i have use gesso in this fashion but without the results i wanted. Like this stuff -
