Review on 🎨 Grafix Dura-Lar 004 Film: Water-Based Mediums, Watercolor, Compositions, Surfaces, Printmaking, 9x12, Wet Media, 12 by Amy Mcleod

Duralar sheets are a relatively inexpensive artboard for sketching and drawing ideas. It picks up oil paints fairly decently, but has a bit of a tendency to pick up fingerprints. If it's a super smooth surface, almost like painting on glass, it's very useful for those who do more illustrative design. It should be noted that artists who prefer more traditional color approaches will paint the surface with lighter colors, however creating tinted surfaces is quite difficult and artists should be aware of the issues associated with transparency. As the sheet is fully transparent some artists may have trouble changing the tone and I would recommend gluing the sheets to a neutral surface or priming the back with acrylic.
