did u let the gesso dry before painting over?

[Milliande]

yes...gesso is a baselayer tha just acts as a support for the paint on top ... it can however also be mixed with craynes etc for a chalky type paint effect :-)

[xRockaJoJox]

This is a great video, especially for me as I'm going to start my very first art journal for my GCSE..Just wanna ask, you seem to use alot of that gesso stuff, what is it for? and what does it do anyway?

[Milliande]

gesso is a baselayer that just acts as a support for the paint on top ... useful for making pages stronger to accept mixed media paints, also can seal porous pages so that paint wont sink in so fast .. all depends on what result is wanted :-) .. it can however also be mixed with crayons etc for a chalky type paint effect :-)

[Milliande]

some I do some I dont...the marbeling with the straw I did not as they blend into each other...depends what effect I would like ...glad you like my work

If I get something in my journal and want to remove it and mount it, what do you recommend?I won't be able to frame. I was thinking of mounting on foam core but with what adhesive and what overcoat? I hope you can help

for a moment i thought you were going to say let your cat walk over the pages

[gigilovesjellyfish]
