The Golden Rose, oil on paper on panel, 2007, 36 x 3ft 12 inches
Farseekers - Journey, oil on paper mounted on masonite, 27 x 32 inches
These illustrations by the New York based artist, Donato Giancola, are striking in their use of aerial perspectives. Though the works are quite large, Giancola has chosen paper mounted on panel for his support.
When working in fine detail, paper is a good option as it provides a smooth surface unobtainable with canvas without lots of priming, sanded between coats. Paper, however, needs to be mounted on a panel or canvas support, with an archival glue, to prevent buckling and damage.
