Art Journal Playshops With Suzi Blu: Dangly Things. Gesso. ©2004 - 2006 by Aisling D'Art Gesso is a useful option for art journaling.
It's also used for painting and mixed media art. I use gesso often. However, many (perhaps most) artists never use gesso in their journals. How I started my art journals. By aisling d'art ©2001 - 2006 Late in 2001, my friend Erin asked me how I work on art/journals.
The following notes are edited from my reply to her: Generally, I have a couple of journals going. From 1999 - 2001, when I was approaching my divorce, I kept an angry one that no one will ever see. It's unattractive, but it kept me from venting too inappropriately sometimes.
