Radishes; casein on board; 8" x 10"
New supports (panels upon which to paint) arrived today - complete with treated grounds (surface treatment of the panels - usually gesso of some kind.)
These panels are Aluminum ply and are extremely rigid and stable. From my research, they are the most archival surface upon which to paint casein because of their rigidity and resistance to swelling with changes in humidity.
The supports I've been using up to this point (Crescent cold-press-watercolor board) are also extremely archival. The major difference is that the watercolor board needs to be framed under glass - where the Aluminum panels can be framed with their surface exposed - much like oils.
The radish painting above is the 58th in my 100-Painting Reboot. I'm looking forward to the last 42 - and the eventual secrets these 100 paintings will reveal.
