Q: I am planning an acrylic painting that will measure five feet
by six. I am put off by the cost and fragility of a large canvas, so I
am considering plywood (or something similar) backed by 1" x 3" boards

masonite, luan board, etc.)? How should I prepare the board for my
paint?

I do wrong? Should I have used frisket?
