My first commissioned painting since starting up Doug Steward Fine Arts!!!

Starting a new commissioned painting for a friend in the UK today. Found some real nice cotton muslin linen weave in the supply closet and this should do nicely. I have to ship it to the UK rolled and unstretched so this should be the best fabric to use for strength and weight when rolled.

I had to stretch it so that I can gesso it and then work on it. More as I move forward.

Ready to start the Gessoing!
