"Lily" 20" x 24" Oil on linen(SOLD)
Another for the Eye on Art gallery, Indiana. These two paintings will hopefully be available towards the end of April/early May. Its the first time I have painted on Linen. Its one of those things that I have avoided as it can be very expensive, so I was sort of hoping I would find a problem using it! Well I didnt. I thought it was fantastic to work on, finer than the canvas I use but not as smooth as a sanded gessoed surface. Perfect for the way I like to paint. Using linen seems to attract mixed opinion from what I have read, I wondered if you other artists had used it and what your thoughts were, and any type you would recommend?
