Day 1. Sunday evening.

While you are completing these steps, think about which image you would like to paint and for whom you will offer your work and prayer.

Step 1: Sand the edges, sides, and surface of the board.

Step 2: Apply a layer of gesso, brushing it on in several directions—for example, in “x”-shaped strokes. Don’t use up-and-down strokes.

Step 3: When the gesso has dried, sand the board.

Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3.

Step 5: Apply a 3rd layer of gesso, and when it’s dry, sand the board with a brown paper bag.
