Hey Ja5on
I was just wondering what is like painting on masonite ? I have never tried it, is it smooth and whats the surface like is it porous ? great painting by the way.
Thanks for the compliment. I used to paint on masonite quite a bit before I switched to canvas...It's cheap and sturdy, but heavy. One side is usually smooth and the other has a sort of hatched texture on it. I would sand down the smooth side a bit and put on a layer of gesso, either start painting right away or sand the gesso some more or add another layer depending on how smooth I wanted it....I don't know of anybody who paints directly on masonite without priming it with gesso first.
Oh right its the same stuff that I use here but we call it panel or plywood. For some reason I always thought of it being something different. Most my stuff is on this now as I love the smoothness of the surface.
thanks anyway

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
