    I remember from art class and learning to "wrap your canvas" we used what is called Gesso.( I'm recollecting from 30 years ago). Guess it's like a primer for the canvas. Then paint your design.

  • @joeyriddle
    @joeyriddle Před 3 lety +55

    Fantastic job!!!! I was a professional artist for many years, and I ALWAYS stretched my own canvases. Especially for custom commissions. If I may, you could invest in a nice pair of canvas pliers, from any art supply, and save your hands🤗

    Kiva, you inspire me so much! I had this huge wall in my living room and didn't know what to do with it. After watching this video I decided to be a little creative. I bought ready made canvas. I added texture with spackle, used leftover paint and stain from my kitchen remodel. I love how it turned out. I even added the picture lights you recommended from Amazon.

    Super Inspirational! Just finished stretching a 44 x 60 canvas. Canvas pliers are the bomb….plus….my staple gun has a setting for 'wire'. This simply means that the gun will fire the staple in 3/4 of the way… This makes it easy to remove the staple with a pair of pliers for fine-tuning that canvas, and when you are happy, then you just hammer them home.
