Gesso and Gel Medium

Gesso and gel medium are two things I use quite a bit in my projects. I use gesso to add a nice smooth primed surface to canvas and paper. It is a great base for acrylic paints. I use gel medium as a glue and sometimes a sealer as well. I have mostly used gel medium for paper-to-paper projects. I have found that vellum papers are a little trickier to glue with the gel medium, but otherwise have not had any problems using this medium as an adhesive.

Happy crafting!
