Evening Shadows

Watercolor on Gesso

Painting with watercolor on gesso is an excellent way to create both mood and texture.  Passing by this old house late in the day is such a beautiful scene that I just had to paint it.  After applying a heavy layer of gesso and letting it dry,  I transferred my drawing.  Painting in and taking off paint with water leaves a wonderful effect.
