I have been using the Golden Ground for Acrylics for a while now and love it .
I have noticed that you have a lovely finished classical style. I will tell you what has worked for me and how I think you can make it work better for your style.
I just used it on DiBond which is 2 aluminum skins with I think, a polyethylene core. Very lightweight , stable and less prone to warping, than masonite. It come in 3mm and 4mm and you can get it from signmaker suppliers. There is a very tony conservator supply site selling it for inflated dollars but it is the same material the signpainters use.
The next time I use it I am going to use a drying retardant so I can control the texture better.
I tint it first, then I spray ( airbrush) it with Golden's Fluid Matte Acrylic, mixed to the color I want. It makes the most beautiful velvety surface imaginable.
Make sure you use the Matte!
I use a simple single action Badger airbrush, not the small one, it is about $100 and a Sears compressor.
Sincerely,
