Stamping on gesso

For this exercise I used brushed gesso, I brushed it on heavily so it can easily be seen.

I stamped my image right into the gesso. The pressure I apply determines what the stamped image looks like. The top row is with a light stamp and bottom with heavy pressure.

Let dry, I leave it over night, but depending on the thickness will depend on length to dry.  I used ink to add a layer of pigment.  I can add more pigment or use a damp cloth to remove it.

Here is a sample of stamping in gesso.
