If I remember right you were thinking of switching over to painting on cotton canvas instead. Did you decide to stay with the linen?<br /><br />Perhaps you've discovered some secret incantation the old masters used to inspire their stretched linen paintings to stay snug and tightly stretched on their stretcher bars. (Alternately you may be washing the paintings with Moxie- given the drink's supernatural powers, that might just solve the problem).Philip Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191070779177407750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-9495112208155632242012-07-14T15:16:16.187-04:002012-07-14T15:16:16.187-04:00Stape,

It has many great tips for painting outdoors. ( En Plein Air ) <br />I purchased a copy in 1980 and on the jacket is a price of $21.95 . A couple of booksellers at Bookfinder.Com list USED copies under $25.00 including shipping. Well worth the price.William R.
