oil on linen

I decided to try painting on linen. I really liked the surface, so I definitely will make more of these panels.  The good news is that I have yards of linen. A few years ago I made large oil paintings on stretchers, but making panels is a different process. I haven't found any good sources for instructions. I used PVA glue instead of rabbit skin glue as I understand that they are equivalent. It worked ok and I may need to use two layers of glue. Anyway I certainly have plenty of linen for my experimentation.

Tomorrow I am heading to Pennsylvania to take a workshop from Abbey Ryan. I am really looking forward to it. After two days of painting I am off for a spin around New York State. I have a lot of family to visit so it will be fun...only hope it doesn't snow!
