Prime it!

The first step I took in painting my stand was to prime it.


I used black gesso on one half, and white tempera on the other.

Unfortunately, the tempera isn't very good as a primer. This just means I'll have to do some more coats of white on it later, which isn't a problem.

I have some ideas for the design, I was thinking of doing music notes, on the white, I'd make them black, and on the black I'd make them white.

I'm not sure about this design, I'm working on coming up with a different one, but now I have to paint the acrylic on.
