Thank you for explaining this David!! I could never totally figure out what the difference was lol. With larger paintings I go with how the framing looks on the back. For the really big paintings, I look for cross supports that will help with keeping the canvas tight and give support for all of that weight from the paint. I think it also makes a difference with what type of paint you’re using. House paint is a lot heavier than “craft” paint, etc. So many things factor into it. Another great video!!! 💗

At this point I have so many pours that are stacked in my studio that I need to go through them and just start chucking. It's hardest to admit defeat with those expensive canvases so I hold onto those the longest hoping ill have time to do something over them.

If you are really worried about your canvas, buy it by the roll and buy your wood stretchers as individual sections and stretch your own....gesso it as much as you like and there you have it folks. I'm sure Van Gogh made his own and they were probably fastened on the back and not like our current gallery wraps. Don't get all caught up in all the hype and BS, paint and enjoy yourself ))

I’ve done a curbside pickup and delivery before, and have to return half because they don’t sit flat against the wall.

Great info, thank you! I never knew what the slots on the back of canvases were for (Stretching, apparently) and I had no idea what gallery wrapped meant or looked like. Super helpful. Probably a silly question, but is the amount of gesso something to worry about? Is there benefit to adding a layer before pouring? I know some people prefer to use a layer on top of an old pour, before re-using but not sure if there is any advantage to adding a layer to a new canvas. Thank you!

For acrylic pouring artist I don't think the gesso is as important but the more you have you generally get a more uniform undercoat which makes less of the canvas weave show through the dried pour.

@@LeftBrainedArtist David, I want to thank you again. Your suggestion for a floating frame was perfect. I had never seen a floating frame so i went to Michael's and the only ones I saw 14" and up. The woman at the frame dept suggested a shadow box. So of course i bought it. Uhm.. no good didnt work. I went back this morning to return it and it was a clearance item. Can't return it. However, low and behold what wasn't there yesterday was 8x10 floating frames buy one get one free. It was perfect. This was my second try at the pours. What was supposed to be a reverse flower ended up being an abstract Iris. Lol. The product Drizzle that Michael's has is crappy. There is a lid on the shape that doest stay on. When i lifted it up the lid was in my hand the bottom landed side ways. So I wound up using my dryer. I returned it and got a 5 split cup instead. Now that I've seen you do an open pour maybe thats the reason the lid comes off. But still the lid should actyally snap in place. However, it was a Christmas gift. My best friend loved it.

I think I'll look for some better quality ones although Dollarama does really good canvases too surprisingly. One question - if you are putting down a base layer is there going to be any difference between a white canvas and a black? Or what is the point of a black canvas? Would it change the colours you put down? Thanks so much.

About spraying the back with water, does is only work one time? Or could I spray every few months when I notice the back isn't tight as it should?
