MATERIALS
Canvas
• I stretch my own canvas using heavy weight primed linen on heavy duty stretcher bars. This is then primed again with several layers of gesso.
• I would suggest, if you are buying a ready-made canvas, to buy the best you can afford. Make sure the canvas is strong and the stretcher bars are thick to minimise warping.
Brushes
• I use flat bristle brushes, sizes, 8, 10 and 12. You• I also use a painting knife when I need a straight edge.
