💯 I have been repurposing that plastic canvas for years. I absolutely love it. I have never had any bad issues at all. And I'll take a huge canvas for 10 or 15 bucks any day of the week. I do clean it then lightly rough it up with sandpaper be for I apply gesso.
Oh Terri, I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one doing this. It just feels like such a good way to save a plastic canvas from the landfill. Thanks for watching and letting me know you repurpose these as well.
This is such a great idea. My very first large artwork was repurposing these type of paintings. My friend gave me one that is 5 feet tall that is currently waiting to be constructed on! I never thought about painting the underside of it! As always looking forward to your next video. Have an amazing week! 😊
Genius 🤎🖤🩶
Thanks--that's high praise!
Repurposing canvases make so much sense!
I agree Maria--especially if you are just making something for yourself.
Love this idea, Pam. It can definitely release any worries about worrying about the preciousness. Thanks for sharing❤️🇨🇦
For sure--I think that is the biggest problem with a new canvas we become so worried about making a masterpiece that we become paralyzed!

Oh my gosh--a 5 foot canvas sounds like fun Doreen!! What are your plans for it?
Great tip. Merci!
Thanks Loulou! I hope you give it a try.
Goodwill and the Salvation Army.
Yes! Those are also my favorite places--such great finds!
