Subject: apply the gesso ground
11: 35 fifth layer
13:50 sixth layer
15:10 seventh layer
17:15 eighth layer
Note:
1. the more layers on, the more time to wait for the panel drying
2. once there are air bubbles when applying the gesso, try to remove them before getting dried; otherwise there will be little holes on the panel. And it would be really difficult to get rid of them in later procedures. In fact, it's useless to make later layers cover these holes. The only way for remedy is to sand heavily. In this sense, it is necessary to reconsider the adverb "lightly" in the original text. Even if there are no air bubbles, after the last layer we have to sand heavily for a long time to make the panel "milk/silver like".

- document materials, equipment, and processes in writing and with photographs
- notes on ingredients and equipment (where did you get them? issues of authenticity)
- note precisely the scales and temperatures you used (please indicate how you interpreted imprecise recipe instruction)
