Gesso frame


This frame was cut and joined, it was given a size (primer) coat of glue and was then painted with 5 thick coats of gesso. It was given a light sanding, just exposing some of the timber round the edges to give a slight distressed finish. It was then sealed with clear wax and finally had a coat of white liming wax. It is a simple finish but still has a handmade and crafted look.
