Look forward to seeing your return to this technique.Joan Sandford-Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228835690449964257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363771184265614010.post-34294717640532155742008-11-12T11:07:00.000+00:002008-11-12T11:07:00.000+00:00I think your wc on gesso paintings are wonderful! ...I think your wc on gesso paintings are wonderful! I have tried this technique, too, because I once read that the colours will glow more than on "normal" wc paper. And it is right; but the most interesting thing - in my opinion - is that the gesso gives the wc some structure and therefore makes the painting more interesting.<BR/>And I like the "feeling" when you paint with your brush on the gessoed surface! I should try it again (I did it 4 or so years ago...)Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953623269887572650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363771184265614010.post-30271495936246929072008-11-12T09:48:00.000+00:002008-11-12T09:48:00.000+00:00Oooh, you did it!

It's coming along nicely Joan and I think the more subtle colours suit the piece and weather conditions well.Anita Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03651162546509817976noreply@blogger.com
