Oils on Gessobord

Well since my last post, I'm sad to say I think the Claybord got the better of me after two more pieces ended up in the bin. So I moved onto the Gessobord and dusted off the water mixable oils, which have been sitting idol for quite a while now, to see how I fared with this board. I have to say I'm a bit more comfortable with this board than the Claybord, and so have ordered a whole heap more from the US. Within Australia, an 8x10 inch Gessobord retails for over $11 each, whereas in the States the average price is $4.50 USD. I've also ordered some of the Mona Lisa Gesso boards by Speedball which are only $1.70 for the same size and wondered if anyone has had experience with this board.

ACEO - Reflections

This weekend, we went for a drive up the coast to check out potential holiday accommodation for our holiday in July. With holidays in mind, I felt the urge to draw some water and this is the result - this was such an enjoyable piece to do, with the contrasting colours of the ripples in the water. This ACEO is available for sale in my ebay store. Wishing a wonderful week to all :))
