I definitely appreciate your succinctness. No unnecessary information or babbling.

That's a very interesting method! Often I will do this but staple the extra fabric around the sides (because I rarely frame my paintings). However, I think I might try doing this because I like the look of the canvas appearing to float right on top of the panel! Thanks for being so generous and sharing this great idea!

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed. My brother passed away and left behind some beautiful paintings he did on canvas sheets. I've been trying to figure out how to mount/frame them for the family to enjoy. This is much easier than I had expected!

@thehappypotter9612 4 жыл бұрын

Maybe you could paint the sides of the cradled panel black before the time, then it would looked nicely finished even without a frame

Great idea. Saves framing them.

You can also use some carbon transfer paper underneath. I use a closed pen and mark around the outside of the canvas. The carbon paper leaves a black line or mark where you pressed.

I never tried painting on canvas first~~what an amazing idea. I was looking for a video on~~ how you would mount your larger size paintings? If it's easy enough, I would love to try it. I am 65 and the arthritis in my thumbs makes it impossible to stretch my own canvas. I would love it, if you have a video on it. Buying large canvases is way too costly. I am playing with abstract for my own use and trying to do one for my son and his wife in a large size. Warm greetings from Canada.

I quit using PVA glue after discovering Earl Lube Paste. PVA is essentially wood glue. PVA is an acidic polymer and brittle along with many other bad traits that are not good for art. The reason everybody makes PVA based adhesives is because it is cheap. Earl Lube Paste is an acrylic type wheat paste the is non acidic and will stay flexible (like you canvas) forever.

Would this method work with a synthetic canvas? I ordered a painting from Etsy (for a 3 year old's room) and it came very poorly stretched with ghosting of the stretcher bars. I took it off the frame and steamed it slightly, which got rid of the ghosting, but unlike cotton canvas, it really has a lot of give/stretch to it so I'm worried that if I just buy a new stretcher it will happen again.

It should work, yes. As in the video, just make sure it’s a thin layer of glue and you press it flat.

I used a cradled panel from a local art store. If you have large canvas, stretching it would be best. If that isn’t possible, to save weight you may want to try Gator Board. It’s a very strong, light weight foam board. Not the easiest to find but framers will usually carry it though.

I prefer pre-primed canvas as it saves a step. That being said, what you are using is fine. To gesso it, try to tape or pin it flat as it will make applying gesso easier.

Front loading frames for panels are usually custom as they are usually designed for 3/4” or 1.5” canvas. It seems they are also call floater frames. Here is a KZfaq vid explaining. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arJmfcJ-3dO5iJs.html

+Jay Geo I used my local art store brand, but what you are looking for is just a PVA glue.

+hypermom31 That's a good question. I don't really know specific brands. I use my art stores brand. What you want to look for is glue described as PVA glue that is neutral PH or archival. Sorry, I cannot help you more than that.
