Description

This Cohorts session reviews key technical guidance from recent Painting Best Practices articles, focusing on three foundational areas: proper labeling and recordkeeping on the back of paintings, a materials-based explanation of fat over lean in layered oil painting, and the selection and preparation of wood panel supports (plywood, MDO, and HDO). The discussion emphasizes practical decision-making informed by conservation research and studio experience.
