Watercolor on Gesso Surfaces

None scheduled at this time
Plein air / Studio

The main benefit of working on acrylic gessoed surfaces is the ability to alter or modify a painted area at any time during the creative process.  This encourages boldness and experimentation, challenging the artist to "take chances" and not be wary of that piece of white paper.  A new freedom of expression by the individual artist will be the result, if you give yourself time to understand the process and its uniqueness.
