Two Skimboards

Two Skimboards, 8 x 10, oil on paper

The last couple of weeks I've been (among other things) experimenting with Arches new "Oil Paper". It's like watercolor paper (thick and heavy) but is designed for oil paint, and there's no prep (gesso) required... I love it. The paper soaks up a lot of pigment so the colors are really rich and deep. I've done 5 little sketches so far.
