Great work on these pages....... really feeling the stuff mykerocks has been posting.......

Quick question? is there a way to get blank canvass' on the cheap?

I've been wanting to do some but their way too expensive @ the stores in Ma.

If anyone has any suggestions please PM me....... and I'm not asking anyone to blow spots.

Just stretch them yourself. It takes some time to learn but you get it after a few. You just need to buy the frames at like a Pearl Art Store and get a bunch of yards of canvas. You just need to by the stretching clamp (looks like a big fat wrench) then you need an industrial stapler. Start with the corners, and work your way to the middles while trying to avoid folds and wrinkles. Then when tight coat with Gesso and let it dry. Sand and repeat once or twice and you should have a good canvas.

 

It takes a few to get good, and dont start out bigger then about 3 feet on either side for your first one.

 

Once you have the gear it is much cheaper and flexible.

 

 

 

Hope that helps. If not here is a LINK.

I could not agree with you more. If I find something on the street that I can paint or scribble on I take it home. I have a pile of metal plates and other pieces of junk that I will eventually paint. 85% of my canvases were given to me or racked. That goes for most of my art supplies.....and I'm not saying Stealing is cool kiddies....HaHa!

Thanks for all your input........ I do go over bad paintings that I find lying around........

but I never thought of making my own frames/stretchers...... or I thought of it but was way too lazy to do it........

Plus I love the dickhead wearing a suit....... I see my boss when I look at it...
