All paintings are done in non-toxic oils. I offer a variety of substrates depending on the look you want. Canvas gives the traditionl rougher textured look that many people love in a painting, but finer detail is harder to achieve on canvas. If you want a smoother, more detailed painting then I can paint your horse on multimedia board or gesso board. Multimedia board is much smoother than canvas but still has a slight texture. It is also much more absorbant than canvas, which means it will draw some of the oil out of the paint. This doesn't hurt the painting but it results in a less glossy, more matte finish when the painting dries. While some people love the glossiness of oils, that sheen can sometimes making viewing difficult because of glare. If you have a difficult lighting situation then you might want to go with multimedia board to reduce glare issues. Multimedia board is mounted on archival acid-free foam board to keep it strong yet light weight. Gesso board has the smoothest finish of the three substrates. It is less absorbant than multimedia board so the oils will retain more of their glossiness, though not quite as much as canvas. It's a good choice if you want finer detail than canvas offers but still want to retain some of the glossiness. I only recommend gesso board for smaller paintings, however. Larger size boards get heavy and can increase shipping costs significantly. These large panels may also make your painting more susceptible to damage since they can crack or chip if dropped or bumped. Below are images showing the different painting surfaces in more detail.
