Art Board Part 2

Last attempt on the Cedar art board created much warping, but I refuse to give up on this potentially wonderful board.  For my second go around I first sprayed the board with a waterborne satin protectant.  I sprayed up and down horizontally first, let that dry and then sprayed up and down vertically.  I let that dry and then put on three layers of clear gesso. I let the gesso dry completely in between each layer.  I made sure not to use any water in this process.

I then painted on the board with Oil paints.  The next day I came back and all seemed well.  There was no noticeable warping in the board. 

Now to try on the extra large size with acrylics.  I will let you know how it goes.
