I'm sure this product has been around for awhile, but it's new to me. I found it at Hobby Lobby. It's a very thick surface-prep medium that dries matte and opaque. Use it to prepare a canvas for either acrylic or oil paint. Create thick, impasto effects!
You can tint the white color if desired.
I used a sturdy canvas panel that had previously been painted. A knife or brush can be used to apply the product.
I blocked in the composition using the gesso.
Stipplingcreated heavy texture where the bouquet would go.Let the gesso dry overnight if you apply thickly.It dries without yellowing. Next, I used acrylic paint, and finally, collaged translucent napkin paper onto the piece.
How cool! I love the textural effects you achieved with this product. I've had similar results with Utrecht's gesso, which is very thick and very opaque. Both of these gessoes offer all kinds of interesting possibilities!
I LOVE the texture! Thanks for sharing.
