white primer
This is where it all starts, the white primer. Quick drying acrylic white primer to be more precise. I paint on wood because of its resistance. Canvas stretched over two metres tends to give, in a sort of slurr, which I don’t want. Imprecision is one thing, but slurring – no.
So I paint on wood. Wooden panels. Marine ply when I can get it. And more recently, for the standing figures: doors, flush doors. I sand them down [with a heavy sanding machine] then I paint them white. And white, and white. Five coats of white on the side that I’m painting on.
