Since I did not have a newly completed painting when I posted yesterday, here are two that were completed by last evening.
Both paintings are watercolor over textured gesso - a technique I learned from Carla Sonheim.
Day 1 - Blue Flowers |
Day 2 - Sunflower |
Sharing with Paint Party Friday, hosted by Eva and Kristen.

Watercolor over gesso is a new technique for me and one I've never hear of. Looks like you had great success with it. Love the flowers.

That's a very intriguing gesso technique. How do you get the effect do you put Saran wrap/cling film over the gesso when it is wet? The results are very intriguing. Happy PPF
Beautiful flowers! And great idea to get things finished or started!
Happy PPF
