Gesso of Bournemouth Beach

Description

This is an interesting technique using watercolour.

You need a small bit of card - fairly thick - I used some mountboard left over bits. Then you paint over the whole card with some thick gesso. Leave to dry. Then paint your picture straight on top with watercolour.

You will find the watercolour skids around the gesso and bubbles too. All of which make for interesting textures. You can paint the gesso on in different ways too, for more textures.

Here endeth the lesson
