Today I finished my newest knitted canvas, the one where I decided to leave the needles in. It was soft, large yarn and trying to get gesso on that was really challenging. The paintbrush was just pulling at the fabric so I had an idea.
What if I just scooped out the gesso and smeared it in?
What ensued was incredibly fun, highly efficient, and made a great sound. Have you ever heard the sound of hands running through wet paint on a bumpy canvas? Well, now I have.
