Learn to prepare your panels like old master painters. Traditional chalk gesso is ideal for egg tempera, oil, water gilding, and any form of water based media. This two-day workshop will include the step-by-step process of using animal glue binder (rabbit skin glue), chalk, and white pigment, to create a smooth ivory surface on a wood panel for your next painting.
