I know you can buy tinted gesso - but it's more fun to me to make my own.<br /><br />I'm inspired to try the Maya Mists now!<br /><br />Meanwhile I would love for you to visit my blog, and comment on some of my art when you have a moment or 2!<br /><br />Peace,<br />'LuLu' <br />BLOG Art: www.lulu-too-beaucoup.blogspot.com/LuLuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00339785017318253187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039030048391705293.post-82053724859314214922010-07-19T04:31:58.463-04:002010-07-19T04:31:58.463-04:00Nice work!

I like to finish my journal pages with matte gel medium, but it does tend to stick together if I don't put anything between the pages. I solve this sometimes with a very light watercolour wash. I like the surface of my collages to be the same, because it makes the penwork I do over it more consistent. Normal gesso doesn't really stick, so maybe clear gesso is the answer to my sticky problem? Like to hear your thoughts?Carin Winkelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201476346043631398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039030048391705293.post-148013040872539592010-07-18T17:23:33.413-04:002010-07-18T17:23:33.413-04:00Love the purple in these pages, Martha.

I posted yesterday about using clear gesso for the first time and was distressed to find how sandy it is... not good for drawing on with a quality brush. It does a good job of sealing, though and since you had such success with it I'll try again... but maybe for a different purpose.<br />Come visit me at http://joreimer.blogspot.com, or click on my name above.<br />JoJo Reimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17381636308808299868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039030048391705293.post-68488688775063339242010-07-16T15:54:02.175-04:002010-07-16T15:54:02.175-04:00I just really love your backgrounds...where would ...I just really love your backgrounds...where would you suggest starting to learn backgrounds?Gifts of Creationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12872990892290232549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039030048391705293.post-18151399137928807362010-07-16T14:49:35.686-04:002010-07-16T14:49:35.686-04:00I have never tried clear gesso-it sounds interesti...I have never tried clear gesso-it sounds interesting.
