Thank you for sharing your technique for painting the edges. When I wrap around my painting to the sides, it’s easier for me to just do it as I’m painting the front. So when I’m working on my sky, I will just bring it on around to the sides.
I have done this once. I didn't enjoy the experience of doing all that work... lol, I had already lost the mix from the palette. I now opt to go with a neutral tone, gray or black mostly. I chose to make the sides of acrylic, to make the job cheaper and easier. Just one can of black exterior goes a long, long way!
Hi Layne . The wrap around does look very nice, but how on earth do you pick it up if its oils? Is it pre wired? Do you use a lot of medium that increases dry time? Inquiring minds need to know 😊
Thanks! Yes, I wired it before I took it off the easel. I use Liquin (but it doesn't take much), so the oil paint dries by the next day. You can see me mixing it with the paint.
Hi ! Thank you for the information, I have a question , i don´t use any solvents (allergies) and i struggle a little bit with alla prima method, because i just paint with linseed oil, so, can i paint with thin layers, and then, the next day, paint over it? Sorry for the english.
You can, but you'll need to wait until the paint dries (oxidizes) naturally. If you want the paint to dry overnight, you'll need to use a fast drying alkyd medium (e.g. Liquin). If Liquin bothers you, I believe Gamblin has a solvent-free alkyd medium. The paint won't dry quite as fast as Liquin, but faster than without it. You could also check out the water mixable oils, like Cobra. Good luck!
Thanks. I’ve done that, but now, I just go with a neutral tone on the sides. Another question. Same topic. I found three larger - 24x36 -canvases I’d like to utilize. I simply cannot afford to frame them but will want To sell them. The problem is they have visible staples on the sides. Any ideas? I’d really appreciate it. I could really use the financial boost by selling them.
If it's not a gallery wrapped canvas, then yes, they're typically framed. But you're not under any obligation to include frames with the painting. Framing is such a personal choice and taste. You can, however, include mockups on your website of what the painting would look like framed (but specify that it's unframed).

That’s what I do too. It helps me ensure a good color match rather than coming back later for it
There are so many ways to accomplish the same outcome!
👍🏼Agree! i always think that way when i do my paintings PERFECT! more beauty to the painting ❤❤
