I then put a small amount of paint on the canvas and a touch of gamsol. Then wipe away the paint with a paper towel until it is transparent and you can see the canvas through it.<br />Let me know how it turns out.<br />Best,<br />Clint<br />Clinton Hobarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00344113204041091501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598952134662786645.post-64771388651678477022013-06-17T09:29:04.007-07:002013-06-17T09:29:04.007-07:00For those artist that enjoy a toned canvas or pane...For those artist that enjoy a toned canvas or panel the sky seems the limit.

The tone is just acrylic paint mixed with a bit of water. It is a process that is easy to describe, but difficult to do. Students who take my classes usually have me show them at least three times. I always suggest buying some cheap canvas-boards and practicing with different tones until you get one you like.Clinton Hobarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00344113204041091501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598952134662786645.post-43654373305296990652013-06-14T15:02:11.954-07:002013-06-14T15:02:11.954-07:00This is great - thanks for sharing.
Question: How ...This is great - thanks for sharing.<br />Question: How did you get that lovely streaky gray tone to your panel? Is it rough in texture or is that just the color. I'm studying different methods of toning a canvas right now - Imprimatura.
