Bananas, green apple, clementine and lemon, oil on paper, image 6.5 x 8.25 in, (16.5 x 21 cm), 02/17/2009

For this recent series of oil paintings, I’ve been preparing Arches 300 lb. cold press watercolor paper with two or three coats of acrylic matt medium. Reading notes from a workshop again, I discovered that the recommendation was for one coat of matt medium followed by two coats of acrylic gesso. Learn by doing –  that’s what works.
