Egg Tempera
Rigid Supports
To minimise warping when painting with ET on large panels 2ft x 3ft (12mm MDF), I have previously gessoed both sides (8 layers or so) of my panels after a coat or two of rabbit skin size. However this is a laborious technique owing to the drag of the gesso on such large panels. Can I apply rabbit skin glue instead (8-10 layers) which glides on much more easily. I am not inclined to brace/bracket my panels so any advice on alternative methods of stabilising large panels would be most welcome.
