Studio Musings...

Heavy watercolour paper is a useful surface for oil painting.

It was primed with three coats of acrylic gesso.

This helps to preserve the paper from damage by the oils. 

I like the dimpled surface which holds on to the paint giving a textural look.

The finished work is varnished which makes it suitable for framing

without glass.  A piece of hardboard is cut to size for support behind the paper.
