Today, I thought I would try something different with the aquabord I am working with. I have done a couple of landscape paintings so I thought I would try a bird painting. The colors do stand out well with this support. My bird itself is by no means perfect, but it does stand out well. The more I work with this aquabord, the more I like it. The whole idea that my customers do not have to spend extra money on framing behind glass or framing at all appeals to me. Another great advantage with the aquabord is the durability. The masonite panel the clay adheres to is very solid. Ampersand says these panels are archival as well. I still have a ways to go before I am comfortable with this support, but on today's painting, I was able to layer without lifting the underlying colors. On paper, that is not that difficult, on these panels, it gets a bit tricky. I will continue to keep you posted on my progress with this support and share anything I learn. In the mean time, have a great weekend.
Lets have some fun creating beautiful art together. We will dab into different art mediums, different locations to paint at as well as various product reviews. Come along on this journey of learning something that can never be learned completely.
