Number of cards: 3/3
Number of participants:20-25
Media:Gesso, all technics .

A new swap: GESSO

Use gesso on your atc.
For your background, for example:
-you can use it to create a textured background
-or when the gesso’s still wet, you can add beads or other objects in it
-you can spread a thin layer of gesso on a newspaper or magazine page.

-You can also use gesso to transfer a picture
-You can leave the gesso white, but it also looks beautiful when you paint, ink or
spray it.

It doesn’t matter whether you use just a little or a lot, as long as I can see gesso on your atc it’s fine.
The theme is free.
I’ll add some examples too.

I have some gesso but I rarely use it as I don't like what I can get it to do. Maybe this is the swap to make me experiment some more - my daughter (luvloz on this site) uses it a lot and really enjoys it.
I will lurk and experiment for now - hopefully I will be back.
 
Great Catb, I will add you. You are the first:)

And Donnacr have fun with your experiment!
It's so nice to do.
I see you later...:)
 
Nice that you want to try,arlie707.
I'll add you to my list and know that once you start with gesso ,you do not know when to stop :)
 
I wasn't going to do this because I've never even used gesso, but I've always wanted to try. If there are other newbies, though...I'd love to play!
 
Oh CCynthiaSillitoe
Happy birthday, AFA!

, look just like a challenge.
It's just really fun to experiment with.
You are welcome and I will add you to the list.
I am so curious to see what you make with gesso.
Have fun!
 
I, too, have never used gesso except to prepare canvas for my sister who is serious artist in oils. Did not know it could be anything else. Tuesday is shopping day. YIPPEEEEE! So I will jump onto the list also.
 
Yes you can use that also.And you can color the white gesso.
So when you use black gesso it's also okey!
You are welcome CAMeo Cheryl
 
Welcome to lurk:) And maybe you are inn for this when you see all the art-work,and then you would play:):)beachcomber....
