Not that this Forum generally is in need of "tips", but the day I invested in a roll of pre-primed canvas, my life changed!

Whether I tape it to a board or just quickly staple it on bars, for open studio it is so much easier to carry, as flexible as a paper drawing, so far as resizing a bit; the appearance of canvas is nothing like the art board stuff they call canvas board, and I believe in the long run I really saved money.

Another great open studio trick I do is take scraps and tape all of my odd size pieces on a large piece of masonite or two and for short poses I can do really nice speed sketching and come up with very interesting color or value studies.

Yeah, I am bored with board... he he he.
