Carla how well does the canvas hold with all the plaster you use? does the plaster break if you try to hold the canvas, or carry it several times? what do you think of using wood instead of the canvas?

Thanks!

@zouzoutti

No, the plaster I use doesn't crack.

I use alabastineDOTnlSLASHallesvulle­r_kant-en-klaarDOThtml

Is acrylic resin binder similar to acrylic varnish or acrylic medium.

[carlavandenberg]

I'm not sure if you can say it is the same, but I think you can use varnish or medium instead of resin binder.

Thanks, they are on canvas. Most of my work is on canvas, you can see that in the how-to's :)

Nice series of paintings. I like the simplicity and the texture. Are these on canvas or wood panel? Maybe your how-to videos will tell me.
