Re: gum on wood panel
Whoaw! Beatiful print Keith. Congrats! Is that a recent picture of Jack? I'd say that he grows up pretty quickly... :) I agree, don't risk to mess it up -> it's perfect as it is. Kudos again! (That comes from Elif too... She loved it!) Is that ordinary acrylic gesso or traditional (w/rabbit skin glue) gesso? I plan to try rabbit skin gesso (+ CaCO3/TiO2 mixture as whitening) on rigid media soon -> my only problem is sharpness; I can't get enough sharpness w/ just laying a thick piece of glass on top of the panel and negative... :( Best regards, Loris. 17 Şubat 2009, Salı, 7:54 pm tarihinde, Keith Gerling yazmış: > I made this Valentine's Day present for my wife on Saturday.
