Catalina was painted on a Claessens #13 canvas panel (SourceTek). This painting was the first time that I had used Claessens. Previously I used Fredrix's Archival canvas panels, which are great for student work but with this surface I immediately felt the difference when I laid my paint down. The dominant tone of this painting was based on a premixture of Alizarin, Ultramarine and Titanium White (stole the premix idea from Lipking). However, I think I ended up over using it, but overall I'm pleased with how this turned out.
