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?

@KaterinaLanfranco13 жыл бұрын
Yes, you’ve probably figured this out by now, but here is my answer: you can get stretcher bars to size (careful of the depth too because this is variable). Then place the painting face down on a clean surface - some kind of soft/protective layer in between would be ideal like glycine (but not vital). Then stretch your painting. Be careful not to overstretch the painting especially if it is thinly painted or older (especially oil). Acrylic will be more elastic for a longer period of time. Good luck and pay attention to the original corner folds to match them up.

She'd have to do two videos if using different measurement systems. This was done in the U.S. and we use the imperial system. I.E., If I watch a video from the UK, I convert the measurements myself, not ask the video maker to convert to the measurement system I natively use.

Is there any upside /downside to doing this? Thnx

Varnishing could be a good solution because it will seal the wood. You might want to get kiln dried wood for your stretcher bars. Good luck

@jeroendesterke97392 жыл бұрын
Interesting to note that you don't staple the canvas when it's under pressure, but use the pliers to take up the slack. I've been painting canvases since 1971 and eschewed the use of the pliers - preferring to use my bare hands only because the pliers can pull the canvas inwards - but not sideways as well in order to minimize the inter-staple bunching. These problems are why I now prefer to paint on cradled wood panels. Also, I NEVER stretched unprimed canvases as the unprimed stuff has a far higher stretching quotient than the heavier primed stuff.

If you’re stretching primed bare hands suffice since there isn’t much give, compared to unprimed as you’ve mentioned.

@narakdk11 ай бұрын
oh, and is there also a trick to a painting that has edges that has to fit the edges on the frame? So the front painting is only on the front, and the edges of the painting starts exactly at the edges. And so the front painting is not overstretched over the edges. Is it better to start with a frame that is slightly bigger than the front painting, so it can be "stretched into place" instead of having no buffer to either over or under stretch to match the frame's edges.
