Hey Adam. You don't know me, but I know you considering that we both go to RISD and we're both in the Illustration major and your senior show was awesome and...aw, what the heck, enough rambling. I love your work and this is one of my favorite of yours. :)

This is quite amazing. I've been just painting acrylics on illustration board but i'm wondering if you gesso your's first? I do, but i'm just curious

Thank you!
When I choose to work on illustration board, I don't gesso it, because it has such a wonderful texture of its own (I prefer cold press because it's so absorbent). If I want to work on a gessoed surface, I use masonite for its durability.
So for this one, I started by toning the whole thing with a watered-down torquoise, and then building up gradually with watery glazes, so everything would continue to be absorbed. I guess that means this was the most watercolor-like of all these paintings.

hmm okay. It definitely has a watery feel, not just because it's undersea but it feels more like watercolors. I also use the cold press illustration board. I've done watercolors on it before and it does have a nice feel to it. Thank you :)
