Poster board used often, using the shiny side will help you work on your PSI & reduction so you don't get spiders/splattering.
Photo paper (you can get it in the larger A4 & A3 sizes as well as normal photo type sizes (which are really good for doing PaintPals when you sign up ! )
I use card stock alot. its cheap and can get it in many colors
Yep. Anyone who sends me a clown gets hunted down and flambéd until they really are pretty darn sore indeed.It doesn't matter where you're headed, we'll help you get there. Paint Pals are a lot of fun - the first one is stressful and you have doubts that you can do anything 'worthy' but its not a competition, its just pure fun. A way to encourage people to paint.
As for skulls - I'm not sure why they're so popular, maybe its because you can trial textures, depth of field and they don't actually have eyes (which many people find daunting)
The only subjects not permitted are X-rated ones (or clowns if you get @Squishy as a recipient. )
EVERYTHING is a potential canvas - with the exception of the grandkids unless you have body paintThank you @Nessus for those tips and information. I have a 16x20 picture frame with glass that I printed a practice sheet and installed in it to practice on. I did not think about painting on plastic or glass bottles or maybe jars. So many great ideas here.

The glass idea works great. I use that as a warm up before each painting session (of which there have not been many lately).
I encourage you to check out the next PaintPal. I am by no means a skilled painter, but I turn out something, and a kind person receives it and generous with some positive feedback. And it makes me paint something to my best ability, which is great to stretch.
