Your videos are great, thank you so much. While painting about 3 paintings a week, I was like, I need to make this cheaper. I was going to by the boards to save money, but then I said to myself, If I buy the boards I need to by frames! I can use some of the frames around my house, but guess what? Then I have to figure out how to get rid of the glass! Classy paintings like ours, should not have glass lol, glass belongs on prints, if anyone reading this does not know. The answer is to put the glass in a brown paper bag, for when it breaks, so it does not hurt the trash guy.
You taught me how to make magic white! Good job on the Bill Alexander video too. You kept it classy. I LOVE Bill Alexander, I put him on, just so he can get me worked up, to fire into the day! He is an amazing pep talker!
One more subject, isn't it strange how if you tell someone you are painting, they say "Are you painting in oils?". Like this is the REAL painting. So weird. Like I paint in both. It just depends on if I feel like waiting 4 weeks to be able to touch my painting. So what's up with that? Because the masters used oil and did not have acrylics yet? I love the vibrancy and blending of oils, but the paint is pricey. People are strange. That question came from 2 people that don't even paint, to see if I was a real painter or something. And I am a new painter, if you don't count casual painting, real loose stuff.
Thank you for all your help.

I totally used (and still do often) canvas boards. Being pretty new to painting, I'm still making craptastic art work at least as often as I nail a good one, and I don't feel like I wasted a 'real' canvas when that happens. When I switch to a 'real' canvas after making a few paintings that looked pretty good, sure enough, I paint craptastically again!
The space savings is real! I have a large cardboard box that has oodles of canvas boards in it. At some point I'll pull them out, and reuse them after ensuring I have a pic of them.

Hardboard panels are my favorite my a mile.

Thank you for this comparison! Great to know! Do have a question tho—I’ve been practicing on canvas sheet from Fredrix—love the fact that I can just let them dry, and turn the page. What I do is bounce from one pad to another to continue painting. That said, I painted a “practice” landscape and our son really wants it in his apartment. Can this canvas be mounted? If I build a frame can I mount it on a stretcher? I left a border of 1.25” around it. Your thoughts?

Do you suppose to prep the canvas panels like regular canvas?

Is there a big difference in painting on cheap canvas vs mid-level or top-level canvas? I mean as far as different texture on the canvases and such, so will one level of canvas grab more paint or make it easier when using the knife to create snow and breaks on mountains and such? Thank you.

So what’s the best way to prime the canvas boards so they don’t soak up paint? Acrylic?
