Can I paint a foam surfboard?
The easiest and better way to paint your surfboard is by painting directly on the foam, before laminating. You can use any type of acrylic paint, spray or brush. Use tape to cover the stinger, or to protect an area you don´t want to paint. You have total freedom to create the design of your dreams! Needless to say, you cannot just furnish your surfboard with paints that’ll dissolve into the water. Therefore, spray painting with waterproof paint is the most preferred option. It’s even better if you can find water-based spray paint since the oil-based ones aren’t eco-friendly.
Can I draw on a canvas board?
You can use pencil, charcoal or transfer paper, and do this on linen or canvas. Sketching in pencil, because the lines will be fine, allows you to carry out a detailed drawing. An H-grade pencil is best for this job, as it reduces the likelihood of smudging. Start by sketching your painting with light pencil lines. This allows you to make corrections before you pick up your brush. If you want to paint more spontaneously, you can also get creative and by picking up a brush and painting something that pops into your mind.
