Do I need to Gesso this before using?
I’ve bought this product today because I wanted to try painting with oils on paper, but for the past hour I’ve been sitting in front of it, deeply confused and a little afraid, wondering if I can even paint on it directly without having gessoed it first.
There are 15 pieces of paper in this pad. I’m feeling lazy and am really hoping I don’t have to gesso.
What do you think?
