Support of land or any type of surface is paintable. The choice of the land is very important because it determines in part how the painting will be perceived by the viewer.

Your support must meet minimum conditions. You must accept paint well (ie, the paint should stick in a coup), without absorbing too pigments.

The least expensive area is painting paper. It is very useful for practice and even to do the job given business. You can also purchase fabric pads. These pills usually contain 10 sheets of medium tooth 5-oz cotton fabric that has been triple primed with acrylic plaster. The tooth of paper or canvas is the degree of roughness or smoothness of the fabric. You can tape paper or canvas oil platform to a drawing board. Make sure you are safe and does not change when applying the strokes.

Next in line are the popular councils or panels of fabric that are sheets of cardboard covered with low cost of material painted white. These panels are very popular because they are inexpensive (especially when purchased in bulk), easy to store and easy to carry outdoors. However, are not permanent, ie they deteriorate over time.

Good results can also be obtained from a genius Masonite or 3-ply chipboard made with three layers of plaster on the front and a back layer to prevent warping.

You can also use so-called council of the museum, which is in the order of good quality mat board. This board is to stop absorbing but is cheaper to practice.

The ultimate foundation is oil painting canvas stretched over a wooden frame. He has wonderful elasticity and resistance, and history has shown that retention is very good. The canvas is of course more expensive, but when be ready this will be your field of choice and never want to go back to anything more.

You can buy commercially pre-tarp. In fact, there are plenty of brands, sizes, weights and qualities to choose from. Only experience will teach you what type of material is best suited to its style and content.

Cotton canvas is or linen. The best and most expensive canvas is linen, which runs better and has more teeth. Cotton can be a bit difficult to cousins.

Look for fabric even with a tissue. The texture of fabric can be tightly woven and quite thick with a soft open weave. That means the tooth of the fabric may be thin or thick, and nothing in between.

If painting a lot, even commercially pre-stretch fabric can be expensive. If so, you can buy rolls of initiation or unprimed (raw) of canvas. Then, with the stretcher bars can create a support of a certain size. If you bought unprimed canvas, you still have the first canvas with an oil base primer.

To save money may be tempted to work on small canvases. This is not recommended. Unless you are an artist with experience working in a small area can easily cause tight, too controlled paintings. So that supports the use of at least 16 "x 20".
