My current WIP. I'm working from an old photo print, so I dredged up memories from my single highschool art class 30-odd years ago and set up a transfer grid. I sketched the grid and outlines on cardstock paper in charcoal, sprayed it with a casein-based fixative, then went over it with a base layer of tinted gesso. I've done several paintings now on gessoed cardstock, and while I have no idea how well they'll hold up over time, I'm really appreciating the way this "canvas" is allowing me to play with acrylics while making use of the materials I already own. It also gives me a lot of control over the "tooth" of the surface and lends itself to easy framing.
