For today's daily painting I used a new product called "Multimedia Artboard"
The benefits are it doesn't warp and will accept layers of pastel.
It is white so it's good for an under painting because it accepts water, mineral spirits, and turpentine applications. Best of all it is lightweight, and very thin. Which makes it great for travel, also plain air!
It can also be used for oil. It's acid free with a neutral ph.
However, I was not really happy with how it accepted the pastel. I tried it with some nupastel and an assortment of soft pastels. It is not totally level, from the manufacturing process. So when you apply the pastel on it's side there are little round areas that are deeper that the pastel misses. If you apply the pastel harder to fill in those spots it fills the tooth leaving you with no more layers. This I found to be problematic. So, I might save this board for oils only. Or try using it to create my own surface for pastels.
Has anyone else tried this product? Would like to here your comments on how you liked this product!
