I absolutely love this program. I have learned so much. Eric Rhodes is the rockstar.

[@artschoollive]

Thanks but actually, the artists are the big stars. I just host them. :-)

[@ninner196]

So happy to find another who uses watercolor paper, paints then applies a primer, the one I use is colorless so the watercolor can show through also if I want it to. Super😊

[@MBDronePhoto]

My gosh the underpainting was gorgeous.

[@franceskavalec350]

Does acrylic take up a lot of tooth

[@susanobyrnes1524]

How is the painting protected and mounted ?

[@loisamer5566]

I do like the idea of painting an acrylic under painting…helps me transition from acrylic to pastels. What about pastel pencils ?? Do you use them.?

[@franceskavalec350]

Good question! but it would be wonderful if it is not needed, because this painting was fabulous.
