I am gessoing some frames at the moment, 10 are done and 10 more to do this week for gilding jobs that need doing in the next couple of weeks. The gesso on the frame in the top photo was brushed on, only because it was a little big for the spraying area to easily move round. The other frames were all sprayed, you can see in the bottom photo the nice smooth finish from spraying; which means minimal sanding needed and quicker production. For ages I have intended to make a simple turntable in place of the current spray table (an old Black & Decker workmate), I have all the parts needed but never seem to have enough time. I currently use a simple gravity feed gun although I plan to get a new set-up in the coming months.
