I had some leftover gesso to use up and experimented with combining it with some Caran d'Ache Neocolour II water soluble crayons.
The gesso was already tinted a creamy orange. First of all I coated my foam stamp with gesso then quickly scrubbed over crayons in reds and purple. The result was a bit patchy, so I tried lightly dampening the stamp, adding the crayons, then gently adding the gesso over the top. The latter method seemed to result in a better impression, but a bit more experimentation is needed. I could have used just the crayons, but the addition of gesso sets the image should I need to work over it with other media.
