Hello, I am just wondering if anybody knew what would happen if I used acrylic based Gesso over rabbit skin glue; would it work?
I am paintings with emulsion, and I know if i use emulsion over rabbit skin, the water from it reverses the effect of the rabbit skin. And using acrylic gesso alone doesn't tighten the canvas enough, so can I use rabbit skin glue first to tighten the canvas and then put an acrylic based gesso over it?
Thanks very much for any help! :)
