Canvas and fine art go hand-in-hand. But readily available off-the-shelf canvas really isn’t made for airbrushing. Even stretched and “prepared” canvas that is marketed to airbrush artists has a lot of weave texture in it, which may be okay if that’s what you want. I prefer a much smoother surface – something a bit closer to the hot-press illustration board. In consideration of that, I’ve developed a process that allows me to paint on canvas that is smooth and forgiving and yields an incredible surface to work on.

You hear a lot about provenance in the art world. As it should be – provenance is an important part of the art in your collection. Provenance is how you answer the important questions, like who really created the art, when it was created, sometimes where it was created, and hopefully how it was created.
