SURFACES......
For Pen & Ink with
Oil Rouging
I always suggest FREDRIX ,
MEDIUM GRADE, with a red label
canvas panels,  shown below.









Authentic acid free acrylic
titanium primed artist canvas
mounted on heavy board.  
Popular for student projects
because of moderate cost and
portability.  Suitable for oil or
acrylic painting. All panels are
completely turned and glued to
prevent fraying and separation.  
All you do is pop it into a frame...
that simple!!!












***Fredrix Canvas Panels as
shown above are my preference.  
Basically, any Fredrix Medium
Grade panel, stretched canvas,
rolled canvas and even canvas
pads are reliable, easy to ink and
rouge on and are easy on your
brushes.

If you absolutely cannot find the
brand I suggest, I will offer them
in class for a small fee.

Normally I would never suggest
purchasing a portrait smooth
texture canvas, however, at
Hobby Lobby there is a stretched
canvas that is acceptable.  The
name is Master’s Touch Gallery
Collection, Medium Texture
Cotton Duck, Extra Smooth
Texture (gold label).
Make sure all your
colored pencils are
sharpened before
coming to class.
TIP:  do not sharpen the end
where the name is visable.
