A new tutorial from ARTsy-team, and this time we will show you how to do the gesso resist technique. This technique is easy and simple, and takes approx. 10 minutes to make. You can make the most awesome backgrounds in different colors and stamps...
Dette er et forslag på hvilke produkter du kan bruke til denne teknikken...
This is a suggestion of products to use for this technique...

1. Gesso or Adirondack dabber + mini misters with distress reinkers
2. Gesso or Adirondack dabber + mini misters with distress reinkers & brayer
3. Gesso or Adirondack dabber + blending tool & distress inks
4. Gesso or Adirondack dabber + distress inks & brayer
Step one...



NB! Du må vaske stemplet rett etter siste trykk, og da gjerne med en sprayflaske med vann og en våt klut.
Start by appliing gesso on a non-stick matt in a thin layer, and press the stamps a couple of times into the gesso. Use the stamp on your background paper, and continue until you have the wanted result.
NB! Remember to wash your stamp right after use, as the gesso dries fast. Use a spraybottle of water and a wet cloth.
Step two...

To color my background, I have used mini misters with distress reinkers and brayer.



Mix a couple of colors on your non-stick matt, and here I have used "peeled paint" and "old papier". Use your brayer with the color until you have covered all of your background paper as shown above.

A tip - use some water on a towel and go over the gesso. This way the distress ink will be transfered to the towel, and the gesso-print will be more white.

Here's the background with gesso resist, distress ink and blending-tool.

Here's the same technique, but with mini misters instead of brayer and blending-tool. By using the heatgun, your background will dry faster.
