I really appreciate this video. I had not even considered painting on unstretched canvas. I would highly recommend Artist to measure your canvas so that it can be stretched onto a standard off the shelf stretcher frame. Otherwise it could be more expensive for a customer because a custom frame would be needed. Otherwise I love the idea!!

Great video, I just knew that I can paint on a rolled canvas before stretching it. And since you tried to rolling it back, I'm worried about the paints will crack out of the canvas once I roll it back after painting 😅💔

@khosis6000 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for making a video about this. I have some questions that don’t relate to how you do things - but maybe you can still answer. When tacking a very large piece of canvas on the wall, is it a good idea to stretch it very tightly as you would over a canvas and then nailing it? I’m thinking especially for painting very thick impasto. Another question I have is if you buy unprimed canvas, or a primed canvas but want to add another layer of primer, is it meant to be primed only once it is stretched or tacked on the wall... or can it be primed without any tension when it’s flat on the ground/loose.

@CotySchwabe 4 жыл бұрын

So I would definitely stretch it out to a comfortable tension. Not so tight that it tears or stretches but taut brought that there are almost no wrinkles. Thing is: if you tighten it too much, the materials will wrinkle once the tension is gone. If you don’t tighten it, the paint or gesso or impasto could crack once stretched. This is why many artists add impasto to already stretched canvas. You want some tension on it when adding materials, make sure it is completely dry before rolling it or stretching it over a frame.

what if there is no margin left to stretch? How would you frame it?

@socalsal627 8 ай бұрын

This is very helpful information thanks! Just getting started trying to sell my art and am so confused by sites like Etsy where people can order an original of the same painting, and they all are offered either unstretched or framed for a higher amount. First, I hadn't heard on how to paint acrylic on unstretched canvas so appreciate the video, but two, I haven't ever tried doing the same painting twice so would need to really work on that! Any tips you might have for that I would love to hear.

Great video! I’m currently making some paintings inspired by colonial Latin American scroll paintings. There’s so little information about these but I wanted to know: Why do you roll it with the painting side out? Wouldn’t it make more sense to do the opposite? That way it would protect and also not stretch out the pigment layer? Thanks again!

So what if u put it on the floor (I stretched) and paint it... then decide to stretch it around a frame, does that change the appearance of the painting or does it make the paint flake easier or quicker over time?

It shouldn’t ruin the painting as long as the painting is completely dry when stretched.

I have just recently, it takes a lot more water to stretch (if using acrylic paint) but I loved it. But this also took a lot more paint than a primed surface. I was able to blend waaaaaay easier than on a primed surface though.

I would love to know this as well. I have been googling it and can’t find anything, so maybe they are the same material, as long as the canvas is cotton or preferably linen (from what I have been able to find online).

@mikazaki7594 2 жыл бұрын

@@33ttpat10 I've tried and here is the answer. You can use/paint on normal clothes. There are artists who use medical masks and even medical bandage wrap. What you need to do is to prep the canvas properly. What I did is after stretching/framing them, is to apply at least 2 layers of gesso. If you don't have it, you can also use white acrylic paint.

No. Because it’ll be stretched the other way. If you do it inward, the paint might crack and you run the risk of crushing the paint.

If it has gesso on it, then it will be white. If it doesn’t, it usually has a rougher side, and that’s the side of use. But it may be the same on both side. In that case, it wouldn’t matter
