I like to keep my painting experience interesting. In traditional miniature painting, there are a lot of different surfaces recommended for artists to paint on - one of them is antique ivory. It, and ivory substitutes that have been made, are very luminous and help the artist create more ambiance in their paintings.
I started a painting on mammoth ivory (I’ve added a couple of photos of the surface as it comes prepared for painting). I started the piece several months ago, but had to set it aside for a bit due to other commitments. The pieces of tusk are sliced very thin for the miniature artist. I will post the progress of the painting itself soon.
