It's true! I can't paint inside, because my wife would have a fit. When I get a new canvas - and I prefer Gordon Harris canvas (obviously) - the first thing I do is cover the whole canvas, including the edges, in one base colour. I use a smallish roller for this. Usually it's bone black, or sometimes mars black. I wait for that to dry. Then I apply another coat of the same colour. But, I am a very messy painter. It goes everywhere, because I paint in a hurry. I am impatient. Usually I paint on the grass outside the studio. Come and watch me sometime, you'd laugh!
