Art in Wateringbury and Kings Hill Art for Enjoyment: creating a textured background for acrylic

Method
This week in our Kent art classes we started the Paint gesso onto board method using a wide brush (decorating brush); using the gesso fairly thickly, paint with broken brush strokes. Once it is dry, wash over it with watered down acrylic colour. If the colour is too strong allow to dry and wash over with a thin wash of white to soften it.
