What is gesso for?

[luckybutterfly2]

@LusciousApril Its basically a primer to use to cover up an already used page so that you can start fresh and new :) You could always use white paint though. Also, if the paper isn't white already, I would use either gesso or white paint and put a layer of that down first...because that way whatever you paint next will be nice and bright instead of being dulled down by whatever the color was before :)

@sassysasha27 They are Caran D'ache Water Soluble Crayons :)

Great idea to use primer first. It will also add an interesting texture to the page. Thanks for sharing. Diane x
