I’ve been doing a lot of gessoing lately. The brush I use is an old one that I bought when I was in school. I think I probably paid US$1.99 for it 15 years ago. It’s a horrible brush (and I’ve obviously not treated it nicely!), but the plastic bristles don’t shed, so it’s perfect for gessoing canvases.
I stretched and primed another canvas this morning. The second coat of gesso is almost dry. Tonight, we paint pears!
