How to make a canvas Tutorial by @Kat
I am an artist and it's a big problem to find a good canvas for my paintings. And In this post I want to share with you the way that I create a canvas with a good quality.
I use, stretcher, nails and a building material called a superdiffusion membrane. I will explain why this particular material: firstly, it does not let moisture pass to the reverse side, in the second it has a very pleasant relief.
The stretcher's dimension is 60x40 cm. When I cut my material I add to this dimension about 7 cm from each side for bending it. Cut such square from each corner.
And it looks like this
It's imortant! To nail the material from the middle of stretcher it gives better tension.
How I understand that it is enough to nail the canvas it's simple. I slap on it, if it is stretched elastically, then the sound will be like from a drum. I like this part the sound tells me that the job make great and it is time to create paintings
Thank you =)
That's interesting i've not heard of this material before. Thanks for sharing
This was suggested by my father, he covers the roofs of houses that he builds. As I said, it does not allow water to pass through, but it lets in the air at the same time. And you can not do several layers of gluing gelatin or glue
