I wasn't sure where to buy black velvet for painting, and didn't want to mail order a huge amount in case things didn't work out. I went to Jo-Ann's fabrics and bought a yard of "royal velvet". Let me tell you, there are so many variables when it comes to velvets, I had no idea what to get. I figure I'll try painting on a yard of everything as time allows until I find something that works. This velvet is really plush, and I'm sticking with acrylics for now, as I want to retain some of my comfort zone. Quick and dirty, just to get a feel. I am not a master of light. Not very detailed, or large (5x7), just testing the waters.
