This was the best vedeo on canvas stretching I have seen, and I have seeing quite a few. The corner fold close-up was excellent.

@michaelhall1691 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! This is by far the best stretching demo on youtube. I'm really particular about the fold of corners and stretching canvas and this is a great resource detailing the whole process, necessary tools and materials. Thank you Katerina! I hope you don't mind me using this in my painting courses during our remote, pandemic times.

Thanks so much Katerina. The very first thing I learnt is that its not canvas on a frame but on a stretcher bar...never heard it called that before. You were very easy to understand eg your explanation was simple and to the point. Merry Christmas from Western Australia 2023

I wish I can strech a Canvas here, it's a lot easier back home where there is a carpinter to make you a frame. And there are Canvas in shops too. I need to start painting, but Sometimes I ask myself and the Lord to provide the Canvas ,as the price of relatively Big Canvas is usually exhorbitant or expensive if you will. Thank you for sharing this awesome video 👍 blessings to you that can read this comment 👍

Someone told me to paint the back of the canvas with water to get a tighter stretch - what do you think? You have to be sure to get the canvas underneath the stretcher bars wet, too. I've only done this once and it seemed to be good.

Question in your opinion is it better to use stretcher bars or strainer bars especially for very large canvases?

@joanneamantea2033 6 жыл бұрын

Great Video . I am doing a painting 28"x 36" . It looks like from your video I would be better off using a strainer than strecter bars. Is it possible to suggest place to buy good quality stretcher bars/ strainers. Most the the main stream art supply houses seem to carry flimsy then ones.

Joanne Amantea you can order heavy duty stretcher bars from Blick, however there are companies that make custom strainer bars too, ie www.simonliuinc.com

I'm making an extra large canvas, 3 metres square and I need to remove it from the frame and roll it up for storage. Do you have any suggestions for that? I guess it would be similar to making a floor cloth. I was going to add eyelets around the edges too so I could tie it to the frame again

Hi and thank you for this free lesson. You could reach more audience if you would use the metric system : ) Maybe you should do a reupload with all the learnings from the past years and how you build frames. Greetings from germany

She'd have to do two videos if using different measurement systems. This was done in the U.S. and we use the imperial system. I.E., If I watch a video from the UK, I convert the measurements myself, not ask the video maker to convert to the measurement system I natively use.

@jeroendesterke9739 2 жыл бұрын

Interesting to note that you don't staple the canvas when it's under pressure, but use the pliers to take up the slack. I've been painting canvases since 1971 and eschewed the use of the pliers - preferring to use my bare hands only because the pliers can pull the canvas inwards - but not sideways as well in order to minimize the inter-staple bunching. These problems are why I now prefer to paint on cradled wood panels. Also, I NEVER stretched unprimed canvases as the unprimed stuff has a far higher stretching quotient than the heavier primed stuff.

@KaterinaLanfranco1 2 жыл бұрын

If you’re stretching primed bare hands suffice since there isn’t much give, compared to unprimed as you’ve mentioned.

@KaterinaLanfranco1 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, you’ve probably figured this out by now, but here is my answer: you can get stretcher bars to size (careful of the depth too because this is variable). Then place the painting face down on a clean surface - some kind of soft/protective layer in between would be ideal like glycine (but not vital). Then stretch your painting. Be careful not to overstretch the painting especially if it is thinly painted or older (especially oil). Acrylic will be more elastic for a longer period of time. Good luck and pay attention to the original corner folds to match them up.

Hi Katerina Please forgive my ignorance. I need to get some Stretcher Bar Cross Braces for stretchers I just purchased. The stretchers I bought are to assemble Four 28X40 & Four 26X40. Here is my question: Do I need to get Braces exactly the same size as the stretchers? I mean for the assembled 28 X 40 get Braces 28 & 40 Or would it be okay to use Brace size 27 instead? Why do I think this is a silly question?

Can you make a video about fat over lean technic? Thanks!

@KaterinaLanfranco1 6 жыл бұрын

NagilaCaliforniagirl Cabral ... will do. Basically, fat always has to go over lean, because otherwise if the thin paint is on top it will crack/shrink as the lower level fat paint layer continues to dry. Also acrylic won't adhere to oil paint very well (this is usually how fat over lean is applied in painting vocabulary). So if you're using both acrylic and oil, use acrylic first, let it dry and then apply oil.
