THE SURFACE

-

Before I begin, I want to talk briefly about my canvas. We often skip past one of the most important elements in a painting: the surface that we’re actually painting on. I like my canvas reasonably thick and well primed. This one is 335gsm, so it won’t give way under the pressure of my brush and the brush will release the paint to the surface in a controlled way. I always fit the stretcher pegs to tension the surface before I begin.
