Mixed Media Canvas: Take Risks

 Hello there!

Today I would like to share with you my piece using the "gesso" technique. This piece uses two different colors of Lindy's: Cattail Copper Brown and Dark Chocolate Truffle. Plus a LOT of gesso. Apparently orange turns into pink when mixed with white.

The technique is pretty simple. Build up your canvas and add gesso to all your layers. Add color where you want it (Cattail Copper Brown). Add gesso again. Dry. Add again, dry. . . . and repeat many many times. Add layers of color for shadowing (that's the dark chocolate truffle) and repeat any layering of gesso you may want.

Thanks for stopping by today!!
