Early Bird

I was over at my favourite art store today picking up framing supplies when my eye happened upon black gesso. I've been meaning to pick some up to give a try for a long while, but I keep on talking myself out of it. Well, today, I gave it and picked up a small jar. This little guy below is my first painting on black gesso and it was really fun to paint on. There will definitely be more as I play around with the way the colours play on the black.
