It gives me a feeling of relief to see them disappear under the gesso! I love experimenting on different supports for my oil painting and recently I gessoed some cardboard and tried that.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899318999574055763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466818066818822123.post-55279199375988869862013-01-28T22:21:03.972+00:002013-01-28T22:21:03.972+00:00Old canvas sounds a good idea.

I do plan in doing a sketch a day as a warm up for a couple of commissions. Why not try for a sketch a day till the steam runs out...smile!
