Saturday... went to Home Depot and got a 1/4" plywood panel, cut to 76 x 48, and some 1x3 oak strips. Put the thing together and am soaking some rabbit skin glue to heat up in my trusty double boiler. Going to put a few coats of RSG on the panel before using the Yes glue to adhere the 44 x 72 inch black and white print (which I'll have made next week). The RSG keeps the Yes glue from absorbing into the panel and setting up too quickly.

Once the print is adhered to the panel, I'll cover it, (being a paper print) with about 5 coats of a 50/50 watered down acrylic matte medium. Then, the oil painting will commence...
