Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills. Just what I was looking for. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺

Good job ever seen before

Do you have to apply water to dampen the canvas before applying gesso?

Thank you very much. Trying it out, but have to build my own wood frame also. A video about making the stretcher bars would be cool too.

Thank you.useful🎉

Watching this video is like watching paint dry

👌❤

Really nice, calm and cheerful. Thanks!

Thank you, great tutorial!!!

So you don't size the cannas first before applying the gesso?

I bought a painting and it was mailed rolled up, this was an excellent and beautiful demonstration. Thank you.

What about using acrylic wall paint instead of gesso?

Thank you for this instruction video. Very clear and instructive.

Amei❤😊

i wonder where katerina is today 🤔

Lovely video. How long do you let your gesso dry before applying oils paint?

What grit sand paper are you using please and thank you?

Great video, thank you! Now I'm gonna practice to get the corners as good as yours :)

Ahh good, I just starting canvas stretching now ❤

Canvas needs to be sized before you apply the primer, either with rabbit skin glue or pva sizing - you don't put gesso straight onto raw canvas. I don't know if this was mentioned anywhere, if it was I missed it.

Excellent, couldn't be better, or more plainer

Thank you. I do my own canvas. I usually mix the gesso with some water so I can cover it quicker and then I give a second coat. Do you use the gesso directly from the container?

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

Very informative, Thank you!

Can you show how to stretch a fabric painting and frame it

Another video on the subject recommended to paint plain water on the canvas as step 1. This dampen the whole canvas first. I don't know if it's worth mentioning.

Thank you so much

Thank you! Your an incredible teacher!!!

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

Hopefully there is also gesso without plastic

Very professional and clear, thank you

Thankyou, a very nice tuition👍

thank you for this wonderful instructive lesson... do you recommend wetting canvas before putting down Rabbit skin glue instead of Gesso for instance?

Thank you

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.

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?

Great information. I love to see more😊

Anyone has a reference for the clear acrylic medium she used to keep the properties of the canvas at 12:04 ? That would be much appreciate 🫠

Thank for this.

Thank you dear 🥰✌️

Wonderful and informative video..Thankyou so much!😊

What you made i don't know your blue eyes 👀 are very very butiful and yes canvas board also hi hi God bless you

Of course if you wanted the canvas cut to the right size call for Shellyne.

Is there any tricks to stretch the canvas after finished? Like when finally turn it around and see that its actually not tight or not straight.

Thank you so much. You are incredible!

I really enjoyed watching this!

Can you prime with ought stretching ?
