8' x 3' TRIP II is Painted on Wood<\/p><\/div>\n

Paul Cotton writes:\u00a0 “Did you paint the <\/em>Tripp II <\/em><\/a>on wood, since it was so large, and\u00a0how did you prime it for use with the paint pens<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Also, when\u00a0will your\u00a0new\u00a0DVD come out<\/em>? ”\u00a0 Thanks for asking, Paul.<\/p>\n

The Trip II is a huge 8′ x 3′ painting – I like to paint on big surfaces.\u00a0\u00a0I bought the wood at Lowes.\u00a0 It’s a 1\/4″ birch, with\u00a0nicely finished sides – it’s more like a finishing board.\u00a0\u00a0To prepare it for painting with the paint pens, I primed it with Kilz Primer,\u00a0using a roller to cover the entire surface, of both sides (so that it doesn’t warp).\u00a0\u00a0It’s painted 100% with paint pens, and Kilz worked great for that.\u00a0 After painting, I sealed\u00a0with Krylon Matte Finish,\u00a0then had it framed.<\/p>\n

As for my PAINT PEN TECHNIQUES DVD where I show you everything you need to know about painting with water-based paint pens – you can buy it here<\/a>!<\/p>\n
