Not a word to Alan, mind!
You'll recall that he recommends Belle Arti boards; and you may also recall my assuring him that I will try them.
I picked up an older painting the other day, and glanced at the back - it's an acrylic - around four years old, I think; and - it's on a Belle Arti panel. I've been using them without realizing it, and of course Alan is absolutely right, they're among the best boards I've used. I've painted on them, I discover, in both oils and acrylic - and why I ever switched to other brands, I don't know: availability from the different stores I've used, probably: I do tend to hop like a magpie between different providers.
Alan is also right that they don't warp, or his and mine haven't, anyway. You're not to tell him, he'll think me senile. And - he'd be right.
