Here is another bird painting on a piece of Aquabord made by Ampersand. This was completed on a 6" X 6" 1/8" panel. For some reason, I have never tried the square panels. I always overlooked them. This bird vignette actually looks a bit better on a square panel then a standard 5" X 7". Again, these panels have a bit of a learning curve. I do not want to talk you out of using them, but I need to give my honest assessment. Actually, the only reason I keep trying to use them is two fold. First, I like the idea that my customers can hang their paintings without glass or frames. A huge savings right there. The second reason is the work I have seen on these panels by artists that really understand how to use this support. The colors are magnificent. Edges are defined or faded out perfectly, the whole piece just looks much better then paintings on paper. For those two reasons, and possibly others, I will keep trying to perfect my technique using them. I do believe the time and patience needed to get good at working on this support will be rewarded by how my art will eventually look on them. In the mean time, My work looks good, just not where it will be one day. Have a blessed day.
