Have fun!

Love it.. full of information

[@cookinglessonsformydaughter]

Great video! Thank you! (Such a cute boy 😉) I didn't know that buying primed canvas was even an option until I went to purchase some today. I don't know why you wouldn't use canvas which is already primed. So TY for this video. Seems most of the videos out there use unprimed! 🤷🏻‍♀

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

So glad it helped! Thanks for commenting!

Very informative video, thank you :-)

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Thanks for watching!

dThanks. Good show. But I could have used a little more detail on the corners. I can never get the folds right.

Thanks for commenting Glenn - we'll shoot a short with just that in mind!

Cool video. Music is a bit unnecessary/loud, but thanks great work 😊

Thank you so much for this video. Can I please ask a question 🙋‍♀️
Do you ever paint on canvas that is not stretched over the bars? You can tell I am new to rolled canvas 😂
Your work is stunning. I will check you out on Insta 😊

[@cookinglessonsformydaughter]

This guy talks about that very thing and why he prefers it czcams.com/video/2W6gecEYzDc/video.html

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Thanks for the comment, yes you can absolutely paint on unstretched canvas and I do regularly!

[@rsu1367]

Could you please talk about stretcher bars? Some stretcher bars kind of have a lip on them that protrudes up.

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Thanks for watching R.C.Suhrie - The lip is designed so the canvas doesn't touch the frame beneath imprinting the frame on your painting- cross bars are usually only needed over 100cm. hope that helps.
