The Cheapest Painting Surface for Artists (And Why It Works So Well)
Canvas isn't your only option — and it's not always the best one. If you're looking for an affordable painting surface that also gives you incredibly smooth, fluid brushstrokes, Masonite (also called hardboard) might be your new favorite material.
In this video I'm sharing why I love painting on Masonite, where to purchase it, and why it's one of the best budget-friendly surfaces for acrylic painters.
In this video you'll learn:
→ What Masonite (hardboard) is and where to find it
→ Why it's one of the most affordable painting surfaces available
→ How to get it cut down
Whether you're trying to stretch your supply budget or simply want to experiment with a new surface, Masonite is absolutely worth trying.
