Frequently Asked Questions About Art

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

Creating Fine Art Nudes is about capturing the beauty of the human form. Using light, shadows, posing, and creative expression, I bring out the beauty of my subjects and the human body.

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