This blank panel will require two more coats of gesso, wet-sanded in between, to get a surface smooth enough for me to paint on.

Prepping a panel for the next painting today…two more coats of white gesso, sanded in between…I really like a smooth surface to show lots of details. #artistslife #artlife #beinganartist #howipaint #paintingprocess #artprocess #makingart
