Because I purchased the two-sided variety (Grafix Duralar matte), I can draw on both sides, making darks darker, adding additional colors and details. If you can&#8217;t add more layers on the front, flip over the sheet and add them to the back. Adding different backings can add a totally new dimension to the final piece.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1811\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/horsenettle.com\/?attachment_id=1811\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/horsenettle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_3515.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2940,2226\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPad mini 4&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1581542456&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.3&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.033333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_3515\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/horsenettle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_3515-1024x775.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/horsenettle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_3515.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1811\" width=\"2940\" height=\"2226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horsenettle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_3515.jpg 2940w, https:\/\/horsenettle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_3515-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/horsenettle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_3515-768x581.jpg 768w, https:\/\/horsenettle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/img_3515-1024x775.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2940px) 100vw, 2940px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While I worked on this one, I put used a sheet of Bristol vellum underneath.
