PAINTING REALISTIC BIRD ON RECYCLED CANVAS with Suzanne Barrett Justis

PAINTING REALISTIC BIRD ON RECYCLED CANVAS with Suzanne Barrett Justis

Today's wildlife painting tutorial will be demonstrated on a plastic, recycled canvas! That's right, Suzanne Barrett Justis is going to review Liquitex recycled plastic canvas. Each canvas is made from 3 recycled plastic bottles. She will give my honest review on this environmentally friendly substrate. As a wildlife artist, Suzanne would like to be able to try and do at least some small part in not affecting the environment negatively and if using recycled plastic canvas goes well, she is not apposed to using it more in creating her art.

Here is the link to getting the Liquitex Recycled Canvases if you want to give it a try.
