Your tips for texturing your boards are very interesting, I'll have to try some of those out. I read a great post by Stapleton Kearns about making textured boards, a la Edward Seago (SHAZAM: http://stapletonkearns.blogspot.co.u...s-updated.html). It involves adding oil-based white primer to rabbit skin glue-based gesso, mixing it, then painting it onto the board with a stiff brush. Sounds bonkers, but apparently it works. I think I am going to see if I can sell my big tub of acrylic gesso and get some of the real stuff. Either that or I will just start oil priming my boards.
Good luck on the competition Lewis
It's a great piece man, I like this very much, looks great, I should try painting on a board, texture is an issue with me.
Anyway, I'm not sure if I'm right or not, it's difficult to tell from picture but does it seem like your hand has been worked to a finish more than the portrait?
It's probably my imagination... Portrait looks great... masterful
