Assignment 2 - Test Piece - Fabric and Grid

Support: This test piece began as a  small canvas board (5 x 7 inches)
Process:  I don't particularly like the factory finish of a primed canvas board so I resurfaced this using an unbleached cotton scrim that has an open weave.  Small pieces of white linen were partially destroyed by introducing holes into the surface.  This interrupted the course of the weave - the holes have pieces of fibre sitting up on the painted surface.  These were then primed with gesso which I have found to be necessary if the fabric is to accept paint satisfactorily.
