As a Decorative Artist who paints and works sustainably I always look for how to re-purpose many surfaces for painting on them, fabrics, furniture, recycled tiles, boxes, shoes and anything else that can be used for painting.

I also use panel boards, gesso boards, ampersand hardboard,canvases and watercolor paper. Dickblick carries a wide variety of these materials and indicated that they are Eco-friendly with a little green leaf on the lower right hand of the panel.

Working with acrylics and watercolor contribute to the eco factor to the finished  product Im working on.   I'm currently working on a commission for a client that will be finished this week and I'm using a cotton canvas for this particular painting and I'm painting with acyrlics.
