Since I have this pad of gesso-canvas sheets, it seemed prudent to get some practice in before committing my idea to canvas … and it’s a good thing I did.

I find acrylic paint difficult. It is nothing like watercolour. Looks different. Feels different. Probably even tastes, smells and sounds different. Does not play the same game. The sheet curled up quite dramatically during the session, requiring the use of water-filled glass jars to weigh it down. Despite how much paint I put on, the gesso-sheet is still quite visible. Maybe the paint needs to be thinned with a little water? After drying, the colour looks a lot better.

Why the rabbit? The rabbit had been lurking on my art table for several weeks following a child’s birthday. I have been meaning to sit aside a drawer for all those odds-and-ends that will probably be useful in a craft project … some day in the next millennia. Glad I had that glue-stick handy.

Rabbit-problem solved.
