I layered some gesso over a page in my art journal to "start over"…but then as I did so, I noticed and remembered that many of y'all said it lightens things up and I thought this looked neat, so I let some of the gesso be thinner in places so BG shows through and then thicker in other places. I was thinking about Yankee mentioning adding dimension when it dries….but now I am thinking she was talking about another product, b/c after it dried overnight, the parts that are thick cracked. Might still be neat to work with, but that wasn't what I expected (though not sure what to expect anyways since not used gesso before).
So gesso cracks if it's applied thick in places? (I did google this and many talk about when used on their canvases and how they get tiny cracks over their canvas/painting….but mine are large cracks…like I used Tim Holtz's crackle paints! lol!)
