Today’s question comes from John :
John Writes:
“I used gamblin oil paints to paint over a clayboard (ampersand). Then later I realized that clayboard might not really be ideal for oils. Is that really so and what happens to the finished painting when painted over clayboard? Hope anyone can help.”
Do you have any information that might help John?

I have used these clayboards in the past and I found them just fine…however the gesso they use in preparing them is very absorbent so much of the oil is sunken into the panel but once varnished it look great…I also like the smoother finish of the clayboards.
