Back to Painting!

The stretcher pieces are all built.


Once the entire stretcher is built, the edges
are sharp, which poses a problem when
it comes to stretching the canvas, as the
sharp edges will cause it to rip.
sanded smooth.

begin the stretching!

the canvas is stretched tight as a drum. The tools do not
sag on the canvas at all!
The border color is mixed to match the color sample.
the border is masked off.



the border color is hand smeared into the crevices of the
tape to ensure there is no bleed through.
The border tape is painted over and entire canvas is
ready to have a wash of color applied once its dry.
