ACRYLIC ON BOARD

See detail

Masonite board or illustration board is called for when an illustration is detailed and a base texture would interfere with the clarity of the fine work.The work done with the brush becomes the focus. The working surface tends to become quite slippery, the slick finish lacks friction. Great patience is required to build up washes to a workable level. Opaque undercoats in appropriate colours will create a good starting point on a piece with saturated colour but become sticky if not allowed to dry sufficiently.
