I played with the surface a little before painting this piece. I like the feeling of linen (because it's finer than canvas) but it's still a little too porous for my liking. I prepped this one by applying a pretty thick coat of gesso with a palette knife. I really liked the result, maybe I'll try it with some old canvases I have lying around.
Oil on stretched linen, 6x12 inches
