Oil on unstretched canvas
I don't know why I had never thought of doing this before. Just this past week, I've started doing 30 minute quick study paintings on unstretched canvas, which is really inexpensive. I have found this so liberating. Since I am only committing to 30 minutes, I can now paint each day, even busy ones. Since the canvases don't take up any space and don't cost much, there is no stress for perfection - just pure painting fun! I used to create a vision in my mind, collecting photos to make sure I had the fully developed idea in mind and then went directly to creating the final piece - a little pressure! Now when I have an idea or inspiration for a painting, I can try it out on a study. If I find a winner, I take more time to create the piece on a stretched canvas, with the prep-work already done. Here is the first landscape study I did. I had so much fun, I ended up doing 3 studies that day.
