Daily Painting Benefits: Experiment with painting surfaces

If you paint small and often, you might enjoy trying some different painting surfaces. I wanted to try something different than my usual stretched canvas and tried a gesso board. I had some struggles and will show you how I worked around those difficulties.

This channel is designed to encourage the beginner and more advanced artists. I believe if you can be taught to read and write, you can be taught to paint!
I will be posting a lot of tips and techniques. A main focus will be to help you IDENTIFY PROBLEM AREAS in your paintings and HOW TO CORRECT THEM. Subscribe today so you don't miss any new posts!
