Two reasons to apply a colored gesso I guess ... one would be if you wanted to leave some of the color showing through your painting and the other is to start with a value other than white even if you do cover it all up with pastel. Of course, it doesn't have to be gesso, it could be any kind of foundation color: pastel diluted with alcohol, an oil wash or watercolor, etc.Barbara Benedetti Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06091855730335169479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938918804357148344.post-72480747461838453712012-10-25T09:37:54.441-07:002012-10-25T09:37:54.441-07:00Your explanations are good, and so are your photos...Your explanations are good, and so are your photos, always so clear and crisp--what kind of camera and lighting do you use? What tips can you offer about photographing artwork both when it's in progress and when the paintings are completed? What about tips for storing and cataloging images?

Each one is a marvelous tutorial of your techniques and strategies. I was wondering what the advantages are of coating Wallis with a gesso. I'm sure it does something wonderful, but I'm afraid I don't the reason. Thanks, Barbara!!Carol Flatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280091225563623507noreply@blogger.com
