A MIXED - MEDIA PAINTING WITH SUPER HEAVY GESSO
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!
I used a sturdy canvas panel that had previously been painted. A knife or brush can be used to apply the product.
Stippling created heavy texture where the bouquet would go. Let the gesso dry overnight if you apply thickly. It dries without yellowing.

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!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lynn...I'm sure others always get a lot from your tips, as do I.
