Gesso is just something any fine artist has around, so yeah, I had some around. It is the whitest of whites. You use it to coat your canvas before painting, or if ya did a painting, and it sucked, you Gesso over it, and start again. Ahhhhh, I still remember the day I spilled a full jug on my new dorm room carpet at U. of Tampa in '83...ahhhh the memories. Wrecked that carpet. Everyone in my painting class class laughed their arse off at me. Classic. Me and gesso, we's goes ways back. -sorry too much wine tonite. ooh, I put a coat of poly on tonite...looks great. Wanna see?
