Here's another "note to self". If you're a painter, you may benefit from this one as well. When you use gesso to prepare your carrier -be it canvas, paper, board or whatever- sanding is very important. Especially if you prefer to have a rather smooth surface to paint on. A smooth surface is nice because it gives you the most control. You decide how much texture is on your surface and where it is to be found. No unpleasant surprizes when painting a portrait, etc. Another reason why sanding your canvas is good, is that due to the smoothness, your brushes will last a lot longer.
