Silhouette - for Beaux Arts Auction

[Mike McCarty]

Terrific painting Chris,

Would you use these materials, oil paint on sanded paper, for a client? What is your paper mounted on?

[Kimberly Dow]

Chris,

This is beautiful. I'm really impressed by the level of detail for such a small piece. I find that hard to do.

[Chris Saper]

MIke, yes, I have painted a couple of commissions on the Wallis paper. I mount it on Masonite with Demco glue, just the way I mount my linen.

I couldn't get small detail on a surface with much texture - the "sand' quality of the Wallis sanded paper is extremely fine and uniform. The Claessen's L-600 is also really smooth, and of course, the ABS plastic is like ivory. And I like my little brushes
