At the Kanata Art Club show earlier this month, some people asked me questions about my process and I thought I would share that here with you. I'll divide it into several posts so you can see exactly how much work and preparation goes into each painting. This is to ensure that it lasts you for years to come. Let's start with the base: the medium. Lately I've been choosing to use Birch Panel. I get them from DeSerres in Gatineau. You could probably get the same or equivalent in other art stores as well. I'm liking these panels because they have a nice texture, and they are solidly built. I like to work on a hard surface as it lends itself better to the fine detailed work I do with wildlife painting. You can use canvas as well, however I find that it drinks in the paint a little too much for what I'm doing. Also with a hard surface, there's a lot less danger of getting a hole punched through it or of distorting it if it leans against something.
More to come!
