Gesso your board today

Please take a board from the middle table, but your name on the back and gesso it. Gesso is a thick white paint that we will paint over with oil paints. You should have about 2-3 layers of gesso, each layer applied in a different direction. For example, the first layer could be applied horizontally, and the next could be painted on vertically. You don't want super thick layers. Tomorrow when these are really dry, we'll sand them a little bit and draw in a color mixing chart.
