At various stages in his career, Jamie Wyeth has turned to gouache instead of oil, and he has painted on non-archival surfaces such as corrugated cardboard.
"Much to the dismay of conservators, many of the graphite, charcoal, and white-gouache drawings of Nureyev and Warhol were done on sheets of cardboard that, because of their high acid content, were apt to deteriorate quite rapidly. 'I knew it was a terrible material, but I really liked the color, thickness, and absorption of the cardboard,' Wyeth explains. 'Later I worked with Dieu Donné and Twinrocker to make archival papers that were similar in color, texture, and weight. Those are the papers I use now.'”
