cliff hanger...

Well? Finish the sentence already

You can if you use a special primer specifically made for both aluminium and egg tempera. Rublev does a fantastic modern tempera ground that can be painted over scuffed Dibond panels. Traditional gesso won't hold on to Dibond, yet this modern formula will.

@@nelsonferreira-aulasdearte I am curious, why use aluminium? Does it make any difference once is primed?

@@giulias.5104 If they are talking about aluminium sheet in small panels it is rigid and very light. If they are talking about di-bond/aluminum it's commonly used to as a substrate to bond gallery mounted art photographs- some very large. If they're talking about honeycombed aluminum it is light and rigid. Skateboards (circ.1979 Kryptonics deck) and more commonly aircraft have been made from it. The aluminum surface would likely need to be roughened by either a chemical conversion coating (etching) or sanded lightly to provide tooth for an acrylic gesso ground or similar. I did a small oil on sanded/toothed aluminum on acrylic gesso in the early 80's as a highschool art student. Seems mostly Ok given my fair knowledge at the time. Artists of the past sometimes used small copper sheets (possibly re-used etching plates) as substrates for small oil miniatures/landscapes.

Get your pigment from an art supply store instead. They’ll only have the right stuff. You don’t need to grind it either, it usually comes ready to mull with oil or your medium of choice.

If you want to save money, go to a hardware store and ask for oxides, it's used for colouring cement. Same thing, more or less. Much cheaper.

she said terra verte,i believe...like many pigments, just ground dirt of different colors....sOUNDS MORE IMPRESSIVE IF WE USE LATIN,FRENCH OR OTHER ANTIQUE NOMENCLATURE......trying to replace xtianity with "art" has led us to smarmy acedemics maundering on pointlessly making points ,with vaguely inspirational background music,the new priests...painters used to be WORKERS ,doing their job ,pushing greasy mud on canvas...nice job...lets go back...

Natural green earth or substitule ( artificial ).

Terra verde se llama pero si no lo consigues en las tiendas puedes pobrar mezclando el verde de cadmio mas el tierra de sombra natural o el tierra de siena tostado (muy poco porque lo oscureceras mucho)
