I have 2’x2′ birch plywood panels that I’m going to prepare with true gesso for egg tempera. The gesso recipe I have is supposed to cover a panel this size, front and back, with as many as 10 layers. I know I need to use a linen layer after priming and before the gesso layers. My question is, can the linen layer be applied before I cut the large panels down so that I can gesso the whole panel at one time, or should I cut the large panels down to workable sizes first, and process each piece separately? In short, can I cut a gessoed panel that has a linen layer? Thank you for your time.
