This failry large piece was done on canvas that I mounted to a panel by securing the overlapping canvas areas in the back
with 1/2 inch thick fur strips. I then gessoed it with 4-5 full coats and let it set for a day before doing the drawing. I
fought this surface a bit as it seemed super absorbent, and I prefer the paint to stay more on the surface. I think that was
more from gessoeing the surface after I mounted it to the panel. In the future, I will remember to gesso it first, then mount
it, and add another layer of gesso if needed as a final coat before drawing and fixing the surface.
I love painting fog, its such a natural atmospheric affect that enhances the mood and grays the colors so you can play with
the focus quite a bit.
