Acrylic on corrugated cardboard
Jaundré van Breda
This is only my second acrylic painting on corrugated cardboard, and I love working on this surface. It is essential to paint 2 layers or more gesso. The gesso makes the surface better for acrylic paint. Otherwise you'd end up with dull colors as the paint would sink into the cardboard.
Here are three pics of the painting at various stages of completion:
An interesting thing some of you might not know is that I apply the paint straight out of the tube and onto the surface, mixing it on the surface itself. To conclude, I hope you like this artwork and I hope some of you will look at other potential materials instead of the traditional canvas.
