Re: oil on aluminum
"rigid surface", as opposed to a piece of paper that shifts and moves around when I'm trying to ink. The works are rather large and my thought was that the aluminum would be easier. After some initial signs that this might be a fruitful exercise, I'm now running into many problems using gesso-coated aluminum. I think it may have been hasty for me to attempt to make aluminum oilprints without ever having made one on paper.
