Blog Tips for Restoration and Painting

Sometimes it is great to use vine charcoal for a sketch on canvas because it wipes off and/or erases easily but my favorite to use if the work needs to be tight is watercolor pencils on canvas after the canvas has been primed with gesso.  You can block in color outlines using aqua pencils and they wash off easily if you want to make changes, and when painting with acrylics, they blend right in.
