Stop me if you've heard this:

I promise not to say another word about gesso. The canvases that have 2 topcoats of Plaza Gesso seem to be doing better. All in all, I'm think we're rocking 4 coats of gesso, maybe 5. Except of course that the first 2 coats don't count. I've lost count. This is the only painting that I've started on the crappy gesso before knowing it was crappy gesso. It's 54" x 43".

Perhaps you've noticed, it's hard for me to let go of things.

Postscript: The Plaza gesso is not working on top of the Jerry's gesso. For all I know, cheap gesso is cheap because they forget to use binder. I'm at a loss. I'm trying Kilz on one canvas.

Postscript: Postscript: I am ordering a few gallons of Nova Color gesso today. For future use. I miss Nova Color being up the street. Ordering online is just not the same.
