Premium Quality Materials: All materials used are of archival quality. Blick Studios is a highly recommended source of supplies. 12 oz. canvas of 100% cotton is "gallery-wrap" so the staples are in the rear (not visible while hanging). No additional framing is necessary, which saves the collector quite an expense. Stretchers are usually 3/4 inches deep and 1 1/2 inches wide. They made be deeper if desired. The entire surface receives several coats of gesso.James uses Utrecht premium viscosity paints which retain brushstrokes beautifully. For the "motion line " paintings: The figures are painted in a Jackson Pollack action-style. James improvises thick, fluid lines with an Elmer's Glue Bottle filled with a lower viscosity premium paint. The figures "stand-up" from the surface because he uses so much paint! It takes two days to dry. On many paintings, two coats of varnish are applied containing UV protection. It's extremely durable and gives the finished work a "wet, glassy" look.
