I, too, am super sensitive to my surface. I either love it or loathe it! Funny how we become so attaches. I think if you like to slather on paint loosely, you like a 'toothier' sort of canvas. For the most part, the smoother the better for me, too!
This will go well with the one you did of your husbands spanky shiny spit polished black shoes that I loved so well.
I like the more textured surface and have a hard time with panels. It's probably good to paint on cardboard, tissue paper and everything in between to keep the skills up.
I'm a painter (and writer and Spanish instructor) living in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. I studied classical art in an ARC (Art Renewal Center) school, Colorado Academy of Art, full-time for two years, in order to benefit from the rigorous atelier-style training. I am currently dedicated to exploring abstract and semi-abstract art, working in oil and also in soft pastel. I firmly believe that all human beings are creative, whether or not they have yet found an outlet for the innate creative urge, and that the creative arts are the highest form of human expression.
