Step 2 - "Three Tulips" - Painting Demo

Step 2: The beauty of this oil primed linen is that you can wipe off your paint and you will find the beautiful surface of your canvas revealed.....this is characteristic of a quality oil primed surface....an acrylic surface is more porous and so, while it's possible to wipe away your paint, there's a possiblity your surface will be stained underneath. In this demonstration you can see that I've simply wiped away the area, with a rag, in which I plan to place my tulips. How hard can that be? Having said this about my beautiful oil pimed canvas, what I love about it, makes my artist buddy, Rick, crazy. He loves his acrylic primed canvases.
