Thank you Cattie, Retha and Michele, glad you like it. You can really get some interesting texture and it is a great way to reuse watercolor paper. Instead of wearing out the paper from scrubbing it just get thicker and stronger.
I went through some old picture last week that were in the "pitch-it" file, rewet them rubbed the gesso into the damp colors and have then set aside to paint in later...background already done.
