Advise from an Artist, by tricorn on Nov 23, 2007 9:15:38 GMT 1, Bonjour, I know a few artists are active on this board so here's as good a place as any to get some advise. I'm just about to start work on a piece of art wich is gonna be 8ft x 5ft, my question is what type of board would be best to use?
Cheers

You might have some trouble finding a single board that measures 8ft x 5 ft as most large wooden boards come in the standard size of 8ft x 4ft. That is the size of plywood, hardboard, mdf, etc that you'll find at any decent hardware store. If you can work at that 8x4 you'll save yourself a headache of making up the size of 8x5 using two boards...
As for which material to use, its up to you really - what medium are you using?

It's gonna be mostly spray paint with a bit of good old fashion emulsion, I think 8 x 4 will be fine. Thanks for the heads up over sizes.
