I ordered the Plywood online, it was delivered to Arts Hut by mistake. The Fixer then kindly delivered it to the Framer. The Framer then kindly cut it into 9 inch square pieces, keeping some long slithers. Team effort. I'm on the third coat of Gesso Primer.
Looks fun, I quite like the prep stage there is something very satisfying about applying primer to your chosen canvas.
ReplyDeleteOh, my... I think I would get bored and would just like to get on with the painting bit :) Have you already decided what's going to come to life on these 9 inch square pieces?
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the priming, since I started working with a nylon decorators brush. Which never goes hard, just washes out and drys really quickly.
ReplyDeleteThe ply is for huts Kristina, I haven't painted a black hut for months, they are piling up inside my mind.
Hi Anna,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to comment on this old post, but I have been looking for some plywood to start painting on and recalled that I'd seen mention of it on your blog :) I was just wondering, if you don't mind me asking, what kind of ply you use and how you frame it? Thank you so much :) I have a few ideas but am just doing a bit more research :)
Ordinary ply, 5mm width.
ReplyDeleteOnce painted it was impossible to tell it was ply, so I had it framed by my usual framer with a white wood frame.
Hope that helps.
Hi Anna, thank you so much for that :)
