🎨Answering your Canvas Questions! Stretched Canvas vs Canvas Roll

[@JustinDeMattico]

If you wanted to roll your canvas with the artwork facing out, my professors in art school always recommended glassine paper over the piece to prevent anything from sticking or getting scratched 😊

[@aohamer]

That's a great tip! Thanks much

[@missyelious]

I was a random click , I don't even paint, but your energy and enthusiasm kept me for the full duration of the video ❤🎉

[@aohamer]

Oh wow, that's so sweet!! Glad it enjoyed the vibes, thanks for stopping by 🤗✨️

[@ampmodclips]

thanks X

[@AbdulAziz-cj4hg]

Hi im also an artist that use large canvas and paint it directly on the wall unstretched, when i first started, the canvas usually get some loose parts after stretched, so before i actually stretch it with the pliers, i spray some water on the back side, leave it for 5 hours or more, and then start stretching.

[@marzvrover]

I'm a photographer trying to look up the difference between the two options, and I must I say I love the vibe your videos and how freely you're sharing your knowledge! I will definitely be referencing your videos if I ever try my hand at painting!

[@PookieRodro]

A few things 1. Super helpful info about canvases 2. I’m a Leo and I’m obsessed with your painting 3.I’m glad I discovered you, you are the coolest and hope you can come exhibit in Europe after all this covid shte is over! Your work is dope!!!

Greetings from North Carolina! First time seeing your video. You are phenomenal & I love your art. Speaking of Jerry’s, I was at Jerry’s Artarama in Greensboro yesterday and that Jerry’s is WHOLESALE ……Yes! I will have to check their prices on loose canvas. I bought a 30”x40” canvas…my first larger canvas. Your series of “signs”is so beyond beautiful. Thank you for your video. I learned a lot about canvas & I really really appreciate it. Thank you again,

[@trekofalltrades]

You are so enjoyable to watch and listen to. Thanks for the info!

[@MB-gv3zs]

Thank you, thank you! This is exactly what I needed advice to manage. Much appreciated.

[@DivyashreeMangalorkar]

This is exactly what I was looking for! I have 100% linen fabric on which I wish to do some painting. So I am going to do the same like you've done here. Thank you :) And don't thrash the torn painting, I'm sure you'll find a way to fix it back together :) It's beautiful!

[@fontainerouge]

Rolling on the outside is standard practice in museums (protect with brown paper). Also, the wider the tube, the less chances of cracking. Last, if you can suspend it (a bar through the tube) rather than have it on the floor or standing, you are golden.

[@thejarfancystudios4638]

OMG I think THE LORD WAS WITH YOU WHENYOU CREATED THAT PAINTING YOU SHOWED IN THE VERY BEGINNING! She is Beautifully Gorgeous and so lovely! I had to rewind and pause to look at it! I am in LOVE WITH CHOCOLATE MILK!

Thank you so much for giving this advice and for the energy and enthusiasm you've put into this video. I want to paint large but live in a small studio flat in London because of the rental prices, plus studio space is expensive too.

[@taylersmith2721]

[@huasi2636]

I was so upset to find out Lumicor isn’t giving out canvases anymore but then you mentioned Jerry’s and I’m from Jersey so I’m very familiar with them. Put a smile on my face lol.

[@YoBiggz-t7o]

Hello I'm new to your videos and you have great content thanks from a beginner artist. Just wanted to tell you that you can clean your paint brush rollers by rolling it on painters tape to get the loose fibers out! Hope that help thanks again

Thanks so much for this helpful.

[@aohamer]

You are so welcome!

[@thgritic102]

I love making my own canvases (really wish I have a wood saw in my house to build more), so the canvas roll question was super helpful. For my style of canvas art, rolling it up would be a bad idea since I have a "pop-uo" style, so I have to store them up with the canvas, and finding ways to move them about (they aren't huge thankfully) is the main challenge. I'm thinking about having them in their own shipping boxes 🤔

[@marythompson5888]

Love you! Love your energy, positivity, creativity, and vibe!!
