"Plum Island Beach I" - 5 x 7 inches - oil on paper

I just can't get enough of the beach at Plum Island.  The weather has been fantastic so I'm trying to get there every day to paint, walk and collect shells. 

Someone asked me about painting oil on paper.  Paper is a perfectly acceptable surface to paint on as long as you prepare it properly.  I'm using artist quality watercolor paper which I treated with several coats of gesso.  The gesso creates a seal on the paper to prevent the oil from soaking into it.  In fact, canvas is also treated with gesso for the same purpose.

"Plum Island Beach I" is a 5 x 7 inch oil on paper painting and comes in a white, 8 x 10 mat.  Click the Buy Now button below to purchase using a credit card, or, click here for other payment options.
