1 – arrival of canvas

The courier company arrived dropping off the custom canvas I had ordered, 6.6ft x 5ft the largest canvas I have worked on to date.

The frame of the canvas is made from high quality soft wood with additional supports added to support the fine linen gesso coated 40mm deep canvas. As you can imagine, despite the soft wood framework it is quite a “weighty” sized canvas……daunting though it is to have such a large “blank” canvas staring back at me….
