As I'm playing with "G" techniques, it's time to play with one of my favorites "Gesso Resist". So today, I'm playing with different papers and applicators.
First, using stamps to apply the gesso on to white and buff colored mat card stocks and let dry.
Then cover the surface with dye inks and wipe off excess with a paper towel. With the fine line stamped images this technique is fairly subtle.
Next used a sea sponge to generously apply gesso onto buff and white mat card stocks and let dry.
Then cover with dye ink and remove excess with a paper towel.
Next, stamped on gesso with a thicker image on to black mat card stock.
Used dye ink.
Then sponged gesso over sequin waste on to black mat card stock.
Dye inks
Then scraped on gesso with a plastic tool on to black glossy card stock.
Sprayed on color washes.
Last, stamped on gesso to black glossy card stock.
WARNING: if you don't let the gesso dry completely and you go to wipe off the excess ink or color spray you will wipe off the gesso as I did to the one on the left.
Now I have lots of pieces to play with!!!
