Surface preparation for oil painting.

 The two alternative 'traditional' surfaces for oil painting are linen and canvas. For canvas you  can use either acrylic primer for a white surface (or what ever colour you desire) or an animal size. (You can also get size non animal size. I will get some of this in for when Richard does his master class on support/structure making for painting. I will post the date as soon as it's arranged.
Primer brushes, 


Canvas pliers, These really do need to be tried out/demonstrated to make sense of.
Just thought it would be worth showing you how beautiful linen is when it is sized with R.Skin, such a great colour. Any way this post is to pre-empt Richard's master class and remind me to make sure we have all the materials /equipment that we need.

Material matters.

Thank-you to every one that attended my talk on Tuesday, and for all the questions. It's interesting that although I stood up and talked for sometime in the lecture theatre It often takes me some time and courage to ask questions. If you do want anything clarified please feel free to ask me, either here in the comments section or by email. All feedback is also useful, it was the first time I had used media clips in a presentation. I hope they added some clarity to the talk, what do you think?  I would be delighted to know.I have attempted to give references to all the artists and information covered but again if you can't find the information you need  in 'Painting matters' let me know.
