worbler Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Hi All, Thought I'd try something different this weekend and this is how it ended up. Tried to simulate a wood grain, in a segmentation piece, using Gesso. This is cut from 6mm MDF, coated with Gesso and then painted. After the paint dried I gave it a light sand and a little coat of sealer, put it on a backing board and that's it. wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EarltheScroller Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Great job. I am working on a large wood carving project and the author of the plans uses Gesso for undercoating all his work. Most recommend shellac, spray varnish, linseed oil, etc. I'm finding the Gesso does make a superior undercoating. There is a reason that paint artists have been using it for a 100 years for undercoating. You have just proven again that it works. Well done!
