​​@@MarkJRatcliffeArtWhat material is the canvas made of is it cotton fabric and do you add glue to the paint?

@@Lusimo30 it’s cotton fabric and I use a pouring medium (check out video description for the ratios). If you use linen you see more of the texture of the canvas than if you use cotton 👍🏻
