I brushed on 3 coats of white gesso, allowing each coat to dry before the next application. I mixed in some custom lime green color on the final coat to give it a very light greenish hue, reminding me of an Araucana chicken egg shell.
After smoothing out the brush marks by sanding, I painted a few shrimps on the vase. I made this work "legit" by painting my chop on it, since a flat seal would not go on a curved surface. The entire surface was then sealed with urethane from a spray can.
The result was pleasing, I thought.
