SURFACES/SUPPORT
We will be using 2 types of “supports”:
1. Cheap paper/illustration board for color studies
(if you wish to save money simply paint gesso over a piece of cardboard or other cheap
Strathmore Bristol Pad, 20 sheets 9”x12” 100lb
Or
DickBlick student grade illustration board 9”x12”
2. More permanent support for finished works
MY RECOMMENDATION:
Anything over 11x14” and as large as you would like to go.
Any “primed” paper,canvas,illustration-board,linen,Masonite,etc.
I HAVE SEVERAL OLD CANVAS PAINTINGS THAT CAN BE RECYLED EASILY BY PAINTING OVER
WITH GESSO PLEASE CONSIDER THIS OPTION IF YOU WISH TO SAVE MONEY
We are going to need a minimum of6-8 surfaces to work on.
I dislike canvas/paper etc.and personallywould use these:

3. Ampersand and Hardboard ¾” cradled:
