    3. Laura Dame says, "When painting abstract flowers, I prefer using DecoArt Media® Fluid Acrylics ™ because the paints are so concentrated with pigment, and can very easily be made thinner or thicker depending on my needs. A little goes a long way! DecoArt Media® Gesso™ is my favorite to use for projects like this."

    5. Laura Dame says, "When I am using vintage papers, I never want to cover the whole page up, so I love using a palette knife to spread my gesso. The DecoArt Media® Gesso™ comes in a jar that is perfect for palette knife painting, plus the ground is just what I am looking for when using fluid acrylics. "
