Lately I've been especially noticing how the black gesso I paint on really seems to suck up the color, and require a few coats sometimes to maintain "vibrancy" in my paintings. I know there's chalk in gesso, maybe that's it? Maybe if I mix the black gesso with 50% black acrylic and use that for priming/toning it would suck up less? Anyone have any thoughts or experience?
Anyway, here is a rose, painted from a reference photo. It's not the first rose I've tried but I think it's the first rose I've ever finished!
