When you’re finished with a piece and it’s dry? Run a dryer sheet over it. Wiping it down with those anti static sheets will keep it from getting dusty before it sells

I thought that the painting was pretty much ruined. However, thanks to this video, the painting looks as good as new. Again, MANY, MANY, MANY thanks! I GREATLY appreciate it. All the best!😁

I can’t thank you enough. My daughter painted 3 large canvas paintings (a set). I put them in my car and they were leaning against things. They stretched out and looked ruined. I was devastated. I used a spray bottle of water, had to keep repeating because the stretched areas were fairly large. Thank you a million times, all the paintings are restored!!! ❤🎉

I left canvases for a decade and was strictly paper, wood-panel and cement/brick-wall (graffiti) based. As I get older I am wanting to get back to canvases. Just got some low budget, large artist's loft canvases. This is a lifesaver of a lesson. Thank you. Odd how I forgot this trick despite decades of canvas work. I actually had to Google this. Ugh. Getting old is surprising on so many levels. Thank you, ma'am. Subscribed.

I am really grateful for your videos. I live in a very rural area of North Georgia and no true art lessons within 1.5 to 2 hour commute of my home and even then it is basically drawn on a canvas and fill in with craft paint. While they were fun to be a part of, I wanted to learn techniques and not just "paint by filling in the blanks". I have viewed many tutorials and yours are simply the best and it fits my work routine. You are an amazing artist and teacher! Thank you!!

I had the same problem as Jonathan Mayer - I have a 30x30 I tried this on and at first it was tight but then as soon as it dried completely it was loose again. I asked my painting teacher how to fix a loose canvas and what he does is he adds cheap elmer's glue with the (warm) water. So the water does a great job at shrinking the cotton and as it dries the glue dries and it acts as a support/stiffener. 50% warm water, 50% elmer's glue - paint on with a soft brush, working it in. Et voila! A canvas that will shrink and stay shrunk regardless of the size.

I love our community of artists -- we have an exemplary mindset of caring and sharing, and your video "assist" is a clear example of what everyone should be doing to help others and make this a better world for everyone.

I just want to thank you profusely for this - I started out many years ago "learning" to paint from youtube artists, the first one I found wasn't very helpful, I think they designed their videos to make people keep coming back to be hand-held, so I moved on to you, and learned so much. Eventually I went off in my own direction and I owe that in part to your instruction. So when I accepted a commission today and grabbed the canvas off the shelf and found it dented, I was a little distressed, I simply don't have time to order another, it's a birthday present for someone and I'm on a big time constraint. So, I Googled, and there you were again, there for me. :) The canvas looks great now, and I do think this is the most useful tip I've ever gotten. Thanks again Jane, you are truly an amazing and awesome human.
