Just Playing Around ...

I was experimenting with Claudine Helmuth's technique of applying gesso through a stencil and then adding paint. I did the butterfly tag with her paint & liked the end result. Very soft.

Then I broke out the Dyelusions ... now that's colour !!! Wow !

Look at that yellow & orange !!! WOW !!

Some of the gesso was smooshed up when I took the stencil off ( it was 11:45pm and I may not have been at the top of my game but I just felt like I had to make something before going to bed !!) but I still used them to try the colours . Why not ?

Now I am wondering about black gesso ...
