This small painting (20″ x 24″) is on a canvas board I prepared with traditional gesso (just whiting and glue). I like traditional gesso a lot. It’s smooth and slightly absorbent. Unfortunately, it’s too fragile for canvas and easily cracks. But it’s great on firm surfaces. Canvas board, while not as firm as wood, is firm enough. I’ve prepared a number of canvas boards with the gesso.<\/p>\n

Finally, small paintings provide their own challenges. In the photo, the painting is leaning against the large Graduation Day, <\/em>which I finished this morning.
