Description

gesso and acrylics on 12"x12" stretched canvas.

i got an effect here that i don't think i could ever do again. i was preparing the canvas with gesso to make the odd textures. it was a big bottle of gesso and mostly gone. i tried to squeeze some out and it was came out in weird bumpy clumps and a bunch of liquid that had formed in the gesso bottle. i immediately thought they looked like wounds or candkers, tumors,, skin cancer, eczema, any number of disgusting skin disorder. i tried to make sure that the bumpy bits showed through the paint, so i added and removed thin layers of paint over and over.
hope you like it!
