So I threw in a lot of Gesso

I love the gunslinger, great subject matter, and such a great illustration. The form is perfect.

Very nice one sneed, do you paint with very thinned out oil over a drawing? It looks like thats what you do in a lot of your paintings? Also are you using Mir Artist Mediterranean Colors?

Mr-Joe In reply to sneedd [2007-12-07 18:01:10 +0000 UTC]

nice, thanks for the info, are you using turpenoid to thin it?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

sneedd In reply to Mr-Joe [2007-12-08 14:18:13 +0000 UTC]

That would be risky because it may make the surface sticky ( interesting resultts , though)

maybe for detail

I use my fingers and tissue paper to scrap off paint

You must be the main source of income for half the worlds gesso and paint production. You seem to use a lot of it and I mean a lot.

I guess it doesn't matter as much seeing how awesome you're paintings turn out every time.

I salute you gessoman!

Cool- I'll have to check out the books. How big is it in real life? One random question...do you pronounce gesso as guess-oh or jess-oh?
