Linen Canvas

Today I decided to use the small unbleached linen canvas I found when I was rooting around in my studio a couple of days ago. Wow! I love working on this color surface. It helps give unity to the applied colors, which I usually do by toning the canvas before painting. The think paint method seems called for here. I wanted to use the color and texture of the surface, and that would all be lost if I just smeared think paint all over it. I'm off now to see if I can find any other canvases like this one.
