Once again I'm trying to work out these Dylusions ink sprays! Trying to get them to NOT react when I'm trying to work over the top of them. So a friend asked me whether or not I let the sprays dry and set for 24 hours. Knowing me, I did NOT. So I decided to try this. Thanks Theresa :)
I applied the heavy gesso, let dry, sprayed the Dylusions sprays and let it sit for almost 30 hours!
When I started applying the clear gesso (I think I packed it on too thickly) you could see it reactivating and coming through the gesso. So I let it dry completely by itself overnight - AGAIN - and applied a thin coat of gesso using a brush this time, and it seemed to work fine - fingers crossed!
Once the clear gesso had dried I then started working on the page by applying white gesso sponged over a stencil - YES! Well, it wasn't a BRIGHT white but white enough to make the colours around it pop! Happy days!
