Canvas preparation |
|
All the WW1 originals are produced in oils on
20"x30" canvas, primed with four coats of Gesso primer. The
picture is roughly marked up in pencil, then given another thin coat of
primer to seal it. When dry, each painting is given a lick of retouching
varnish before being photographed using polarised light, ready for
reproduction. The painting is then left to harden before delivery.
