Hello Guys. Thank you so much for watching my videos. here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaKsYZmhZtVsZrM how to paint this canvas. abstract acrylic art painting in first time check it out.

This video just saved me a few hundred bucks from buying large canvas.... 💖💖💖

Exactly, the size of canvas would cost me something like £150. So this is great idea

This is the kind of video I have been looking for for years. I finally have found it. I can't thank you enough. I had to smash that subscribe button, you are the real content creator for artists. Excellent job.

[@martymartyn7829]

Thank you very helpful.... video is nicely done .... happy to see a large canvas, other videos usually only show smaller canvas .....I plan to do something different... i want to make a panel at home ...i don't want to paint a wall, so I will cover the frame with a fabric (something beautiful, maybe upholstery fabric) or a holiday color I like & can change periodically.... maybe spray starch on back of fabric ? ..... I found that 3M Command sells hangers for canvas only.... that way i won't mess up the wall... maybe you could do a video using fabric like this.... it will add a nice decorative backdrop.... can be from fancy to flamingos....

[@MDDIYHome]

that's a great Idea you can do. the 3m hangers enough for hang, thank you for your comment & watching my video.

[@Masterfocus365]

let me know how that project goes..i want to do the same thing for a wall in our house as well..

[@MDDIYHome]

the wood cutting size is 1200mm X 1800mm , and the joining you can flow main or use L bracket would be fine. and for the Fabric i pain wall white paint, and staple, staples little louder. Thank you. wish you complete the project nicely

[@jarviskemp1988]

What kind of paint did you use in the video.

[@simpleme5719]

I went to a craft store and got there Muslim material. Its a bit thick like canvas $1.27 per yd.You can add modge podge,white paint or white school glue. Dollar tree my friend on those items.

[@susansinclair4914]

I think it's actually MUSLIN, not muslim. You can easily check by telling it a religious joke and see what happens.

[@carmel-wayfinder5401]

Excellent idea thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@JudiChristopher]

I think your idea with the bedsheet is better than me using a Painter's Drop Cloth... I did (for smaller canvas') use a Tea-Towel 24" x 24" (Walmart)... Its double cheese cloth... and I did what you did to the bedsheets... came out great. The Tea-towels also make great curtains too.

[@MDDIYHome]

Sounds great! appreciate you watching.

I use a Painter's Drop Cloth (after bleaching it)... Great video... Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@MommaBearsCorner]

now thats interesting for certain projects maybe

[@ziggilypiggily]

I live in an apartment and would like to put up a wallpaper mural...but I can't change the walls. I thought maybe it would be ok to make a frame like this and cover it with canvas, then attach mural to the canvas. Would this work? Also, I'd like to make the frame to cover most of the wall. I like how light-weight the frame seems to be.

[@MDDIYHome]

Hi there. that's a good Idea. you can do that. and the weight depend on wood, what type of wood you use for the frame. you can choose light and tiny wood. thanks dear.

[@ziggilypiggily]

Thank you!

[@MommaBearsCorner]

yep.

[@justicelowman7493]

what is that wood called with the holes for wood pegs? The words mortise and tenon come to mind but googling that didn't help! Did you buy the wood with the dowels precut?

Hi Justice@ you can ask at the Hardware Shop. helping you for the holes. or you also can make the hols yourself use 2mm wood hole drill bit. Thank you for watching my videos.

[@oogabooga2744]

does anyone know if you could use a pillow case or white t shirt instead if you want a smaller one great vid btw

[@fucktwelve6774]

Yeah just paint it whatever color you want. to make the cloth harder and so no paint passes through add a 2nd coat of the color you chose then its ready to do ypur painting. Its better to find a thick t shirt but pillow cases are the same as bed sheets

[@saltlifegull4091]

What? Awesome idea, but doesn't the sheet get saggy over time? Sheets are much thinner than canvas. Enjoyed the video and gonna try it. Great work!

[@mimieummitalib612]

After done painting maybe u can apply or spray varnishing spray as finishing. I do it alot after painting. B4, i paint on my daughter's laptop and spray the vanishing. It will helps ur painting be waterproof. But make sure ur painting must completely dry b4 spraying. Maybe can try on canvas like this to overcome saggy

MD DIY Home Thank you SO much!!!!! I really appreciate you took the time to answer my questions.

[@MommaBearsCorner]

you don have to. One does cause It can provide a slightly more absorbent surface. Dont need to if primed/premium canvas. I would definitely think so with this cause it seems the softer material would need to be much harder, more durable surface. never tried this so not sure on that.

[@kyliahkh]

Grozny Entertainment why?

[@groznyentertainment]

@@kyliahkh The frame edges are not in an angle; paints will deform at edges. The canvas are streched with stretcher for a reason; I wonder if the elastic in the sheet will get sagged after paint is applied?. Also gesso should be used for many reasons. This idea Its good for painting practice . As a customer I would prefer at least cotton canvas as price for large paintings justify the material as well

[@passionatebutterfly9625]

@@groznyentertainment not true... Most canvases don't have angle edges (Different brands different way of making it) still does the job.. Gesso is one Way of preparing the canvas but there are other ways.. like painting the canvas (like he did)... The clothe has nothing to do with how good the canvas will hold up... It all has to do with stretching it out good, preparing the canvas & most importantly the final goal.... Putting some kind of protected seal on the finished artwork... That is the main goal.... If you do that the artwork you're good.... Believe me ... I've made canvas out of so many things and all came out great and customers love it & they are still holding up...

Use the sheet, n act like u don’t know what sheet she’s talking about😈

[@maxiprince8472]

I tried this canvas idea and I give it a thumbs down. My advice to to NOT sample the sheet to any of your wall you value because the paint seeps through onto the wall and as it dries it sticks to the wall. Then you start to remove it it pulls the existing paint off the wall. This is good method but just don't staple and paint it on a good wall.

[@autisticcormorant6881]

While this low tech solution is cheap you should also know, that the archival quality of bedsheets come nowhere near that of a professional or even student grade canvas. I think this should have been made clear. If you're selling your art, the materials should be archival and last a lifetime. I'm sure most people are just doing this for themselves, but they should still know, that their work will degrade very quickly.
