I've run into a bit of trouble with the gesso board. The surface is a bit less smooth than I'd optimally expect. It may have been too eggy a mix late last night, or possibly that the egg was getting old. I dropped on a few more layers this evening with a fresh egg and it seemed to improve a bit before reverting. I'm going to let it sit while I turn to lily work. If in a few days it's still not where I want it to be, I'll simply start another background and let that one rest. No worries, I have plenty of boards and this is a great learning experience.
