Here's my first attempt painting on gessoboard as opposed to canvas. I've noticed that a lot of artists that I like on www.dailypaintworks.com are using gessoboard, so I wanted to try it out. The smooth surface makes it easy to create loose, quick brushstrokes, but the downside (for me as a beginner) is controlling the paint...it's so slippery! Also: Prepare to see more oranges in the future, I love 'em and I always have them in the fridge, so they will probably end up being one on my go-to subjects. :)
