The Russian




This was a little head study done on an odd sized piece of left-over Masonite (about 11 x 12). I've been using masonite more and more, lately. I can buy a 4 x 8 foot sheet of masonite for $5.50. I can usually get 15 to 20 "canvases" from this one sheet. I sand the smooth surface, and then apply a generous coat of gesso with a stiff-bristled old plastic scrub brush. Makes a nice texture beneath the painting.
