    So helpful! I struggle with getting it square every time, and it takes so long to get it right. But now I realize what I was doing wrong: when A is out of square, I shouldn't try to adjust A, I should adjust (tap) the two adjacent corners. Also I only was using an L brace to check it for gaps; now I know to measure the diagonals. The cardboard corners was another great tip: I confess, I was using wood glue - after all that work, I wasn't taking chances. Thank you so much for making this vid!

    Hello Steve, I stretched my canvas and primer, was excellent the tension, but after paint on it with oil using spatula the canvas lost the tension , and the surface moves like a jelly. could you give me some tip ?... Thanks!.

    • @stevehendersonfineart5465
      @stevehendersonfineart5465 7 лет назад

      It depends on the canvas type used, i.e. linen or cotton. Also, using a spatula or palette knife applies a lot pressure to surface: The canvas, depending on size and how well the edges are turned under and affixed, will naturally lose some of its tension. Most quality stretcher bars will have corner and central support keys that when tapped in will restore tension.

    I've been sharing all your videos with the Oil Painting "Oily Rag" section of Wet Canvas, and you've done such a great job here. It may seem like very basic information to you, but you might be surprised at how many painters you've helped. Thank you so much, Steve!

      Thank you, Nancy, for sharing the videos -- I made them because I wanted to pass on what I have learned through the years. Information is not basic when someone doesn't know it, and can't find it, and I am amazed at how much "basic" information is not out there to be found. When we have the ability to do something about that, it feels good to do it!

    Deep Gallery Wrap paintings look great on the wall, and eliminate the need for a separate frame. This video is a free tutorial on how to customize your own gallery wrap bars. (If you're not an artist but would like to know more about the structure of this type of painting, it's an interesting watch, if I do say so myself.) ruclips.net/video/sfOoyYo1tsQ/видео.html #youtube #video #DIY #howto #gallerywrap #stretcherbars #SteveHenderson

    So what does the "skeletal structure" of a canvas- or linen-stretched painting look like? Whether you're a DIY artist or a collector who wants to know more about what makes a painting, this video shows the process of creating the stretcher bar frame that forms the support structure of many paintings. ruclips.net/video/HCGr0eIxxpM/видео.html ‪#‎DIY‬ ‪#‎painting‬ ‪#‎stretcherbars‬ ‪#‎howto‬ ‪#‎instructional‬ ‪#‎video‬ ‪#‎youtube‬

  • @JuttaBluehberger
    @JuttaBluehberger 10 лет назад

    a well done and highly informational video! I'm wondering what you think of painting on paper. My art professor claims that in the past canvas was the better surface but nowadays there are high quality papers that are preferable. What's you take on that?

    • @stevehendersonfineart5465
      @stevehendersonfineart5465 10 лет назад

      Jutta, yes, paper can be used, although I would differ with the opinion that it is superior. I have painted on paper and find it is good for its affordability, smooth surface but compared to canvas it is very fragile. Just keep in mind that no matter the surface it must be sized and/or primed or it will deteriorate over time. Chau.

      Yes, Denise, Carolyn will write an article in her Fine Art Studio column announcing the videos as they are ready. I am putting the finishing touches on the second of two videos on creating the stretcher bars, and those will be featured in the next to FASO posts. The first of those videos is up now, and is up on the FREE Videos page of my website -- stevehendersonfineart.com/page/3577/free-videos I am next putting my attention to the instructions on stretching (a popular topic, I am finding).

    Thank you Steve! Very nicely done. I look forward to the more detailed videos on the process of stretching canvas. If they are as clearly presented and well illustrated as this overview, they will be well worth viewing and keeping for future reference. I am not a stranger to stretching prepared canvas, but other than a few not-so-successful attempts I've avoided preparing the stretched canvas myself. This video makes me consider giving it another shot. (PS, I followed Carolyn's link on Fine Art Views to get here. She is far and away my favorite writer on that site.)

    • @stevehendersonfineart5465
      @stevehendersonfineart5465 10 лет назад

      Thank you, California Painter, for your encouraging comments on both this video and Carolyn's writing (I will let her know). I am in the finishing stages now of the first of two stretched canvas clips, and should have the next one ready for Carolyn's next column. I'm glad you're reconsidering giving the canvas stretching a try -- looking back, we all have a number of unsuccessful efforts at whatever we put our hand to, and those efforts have their purpose. A frustrating purpose, I agree, but a worthwhile one.

    Carolyn and Steve, what an inspiration for me through your collaboration of words and art. I am a 'seasoned artist' (to the point of being overcooked with ideas for marketing my work). Your written suggestions and RUclips video were so inspirational that I am going to try my own RUclips without knowing or understanding the process at this point. But if it comes together, I will let you know. Also, I will purchase your book since I can tell you understand and know the 'ropes of the swinging pendelum' concerning selling art. Thank you!

    • @stevehendersonfineart5465
      @stevehendersonfineart5465 10 лет назад

      Thank you, Deena, for your kind words. Carolyn and I look forward to hearing about your RUclips experience -- please share the link with us when you have it ready. It's good to see artists grab onto their careers as individuals, finding out what works for them and what is the right, honorable way of doing things, and doing it. There are a lot of artists out there -- visual, sculpture, writing, music -- who have much to say that is countercultural to what is being funded by the corporate mass market. It's not an easy road for us, but we keep doing it, because what we're doing is worth doing, and buying. Thank you for reaching out. -- Steve
