Really interesting painting. Are you working on sanded board or paper and if paper, is it mounted? I’m just curious because I’m actually fearful of working that large on paper unless I can figure out how to mount it securely. Am I being silly?
Cate, I work on acid-free sandpaper clipped to a piece of foam core. In the photos you’ll notice lots of bulldog clips. It’s not difficult. I’ve been working this way for 30 years!
