Definition: Aggregate is a collection of items that are gathered together to form a total quantity.

The fleeting moments of knowledge in which we discover our existence are facts that can be committed to memory. We can enlarge this aggregate memory and refashion it as we go through a lifetime. By saving these memories on paper and reconstructing the images of our lives. We see the art of our lives unfolding before us.

Face the brilliance of your most wonderful creations and dwell on your dreams.
I believe in teaching, the sharing of ideas and playfulness of creating.

SDC124: Using Gesso

 

Hello Creatives.  Welcome to Stampotquie SDC124: Gesso

Sarinda here and I am asking you to rethink Gesso in this challenge. I find that I use Gesso a lot in my work and feel is an amazing tool to utilize. Yes, tool. Not only does is serve as a basic prep to your sub-straight, It picks up texture of a stencil, use it with a pallet knife, layer it. And if you are using it with inks, sprays, stains it will create unique depth to your backgrounds. Even try it on top of lace, fabric, tulle. Play and be free. I have a gesso tutorial (Below) if you need some extra inspiration. www.AggregateMemories.blogspot.com

 I also wanted to take the time to Thank all of you for your wonderful, creative support over the years. This will be my last challenge I will be hosting with Stampotique. As my glass art business is demanding more of my time... This is good as I have been working for this moment over 13 years. I will not be a stranger to Stampotique as most of you know... I LOVE STAMPOTIQUE. 

 Face the Brilliance of your most wonderful creations and Dwell on you Dreams.
Cheers-
Sarinda

    Thanks for the gesso tutorial - I didn't realise how many different ways you could use it - I'm definitely going to have a play and see for myself how the texture works!

    What a fantastic challenge, Sarinda! I love using things I already have in new ways. I used gesso frequently, but always to prepare my substrate. I am now motivated to use it to create textured backgrounds in my work. I am one who learns by seeing, rather than reading or hearing, so I am especially grateful for this great video. Thanks!
