Painting available on auction here, beginning bid $100
I was lucky enough to catch the first blush of new leaves at nearby Carburn Park. I used a new surface called Multimedia Artboard to do this painting on. This piece was ungessoed and was extremely absorbent, which gave an almost pastel like quality to the mark making which I found to be quite interesting. It is basically some kind of paper with resin mixed in so it becomes an archival, inert surface to work on. The best part is it is extremely light, about the weight of a piece of cardstock. I have prepared some sheets with gesso for my upcoming painting trip to Tuscany -hopefully it will be the perfect support to travel with! I will mount all successful work onto masonite when I get home.
Enjoy!
