Ampersand Aquaboard! My new fave canvas

Wow! I know these boards has been around for a while but after trying
them, I am hooked.

You know how sometimes you get stuck in a rut and keep doing the same things?
Well, that can be said for my using the same art supplies over and over as well.
I have been working on this board in acrylics and I am really enjoying the ease and professional quality that it offers.

And, the very best part?
Is that it has beautiful wood sides that you can paint or stain so you do not
have to frame your finished painting! That is FAB! I tape and save my sides
(just because I am so messy) and then when I am ready to frame it
I just paint or stain the sides when I finish the painting and

add a protective seal to the sides with 4 coats of Golden brand Gloss UV varnish! Voila!

Check out the various brands and sizes and have a blast! 

 Try it out and let me know what you think. 

You also know that I love to paint on black canvas.

Well, here is a link to Ampersands black clayboard
for you to try out.
My newest paintings are mostly started with a coat
of black gesso and then I start from dark to light.
It is a challenge for me to paint this way and I am
learning much about light by painting with my
darkest dark-black.

Keep painting and creating! Email me with your
comments and let me know what new
art supplies and art tips and ideas you
are doing.
