I just love the way paint puddles and highlights the texture of the gesso. I have inspirational stickers I am thinking of adding to these. Mmm… maybe I will add them to the back instead. Ha ha ha. Five more started last night. Hope you are enjoying some creative time as well!

Exploring exploring that’s the name of the game! Great postcards especially the Ranunculus!
I wasn’t sure that one was finished. But now I know to leave it alone. LOL
You know that better than anyone Carol. Inspiring your exploring 
Sheila, what is the process when you use watercolors and gesso together??? You’ve got me curious.
You are a poster child for postcard progress : )
Ha ha ha
I spread the gesso on the paper with a palette knife. Leaving some areas uncovered, and texture from uneven spreading. I just move quick and if it gets covered great, and if not, great 
After that dries, I paint on it.
I bought two pads of blank postcards, “watercolor paper”. A “steal”. But the paper is awful. It swells when you add water. So I thought to cover it up with the gesso. First one, I tried to get it smooth. But then I “goofed” and had some unevenness, and I really liked it;)
You can see on the cards, some of the uncovered paper showing around the edges. The darker areas.
It looks so much like you are painting on Yupo in some of these – a nice look!
It does look like Yupo, now that you mentioned it Val.
There is great texture too though
