Gesso will prevent the paint from soaking into the paper. Recently, I have been enjoyed using paper that is not gessoed. But, I DO underpaint, and this is usually to create unity, and to offer more contrast and energy between colours. I often undercoat with a pink, or a brownish tone. This is because the colours on top will be predominantly cool...blues and greens...so a warm colour offers a sublte contrast to this, giving more energy to the colour system.

I'm curious I suppose because we virtually don't have snow here in Australia and your landscape scenes are so unfamiliar. I'm interested in your processes and techniques ie what can I steal!
