[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I studded painting with Eisner a name guy at Washington university in St. Louis in the mid 1970's. No one knew who made the canvas they were using or the name of their paint brush or knife. We just went to the art store and got what they had. I don't think there was a choice on the canvas. One big roll. You had a choice of natural bristle or polyester bristle. Oil or acrylic. I painted on cut in half sheets of masonite as did many in the class. 4x4 ft square. Hard to hitchhike home with on Big Bend Boulevard.
