American Cowboy



8x6"
Watercolor on gesso panel
$100

The panel was given three thin coats of regular gesso to avoid brush strokes. Then one coat of Golden Absorbant Ground which acts something like bristle board. It's more rugged because it isn't paper, paint lifts off easily. Very nice surface to work on. Used Yarka watercolors.

All in all water soluable oils is pretty nice stuff to paint with. I think of it as slow drying acrylics. Water clean up and thinning is very convenient.

Did this for fun using watercolor on Golden Absorbant Ground over several layers of gesso on hardboard. The mammal has been called a cat, dog, jackle and old boot. You can see some of the interesting effects possible with this material.
