Mar 1, 2012 - Thank you sooooo very much for this video, I recently purchased a reproduction of "The Starry Night" and I've always wondered how to stretch canvas, rather than taking it into a store and paying alot to get it done. I really do appreciate you sharing this with us ! !

Feb 7, 2012 - I thought you stretch before adding the paint, I guess it doesn't matter if you like painting on a flat surface, I like painting on the easel straight up.

Dec 15, 2011 - Very informative video, thanks, just a few questions, wouldn't it be ideal to stretch a canvas first to minimise any white corners/edges & how would an artist preserve an acrylic painting other than keeping it out of direct sunlight?

Oct 9, 2011 - I have never used any of those items to stretch a canvass. The way you stretch a canvass on anything has it roots in upholstering techniques. You can research that for more complicated things. If you are doing a circle it is important to make small even notches every inch or so, to allow it to make a drum fit. This is an old sewing trick. The lip on a factory-made stretcher bar keeps canvass from touching the wood bar. Create a lip on other things with a pc. of cardboard.

Oct 9, 2011 - I like to use the 1.5 inch stretcher bars for artwork I do not intend to frame Fredrix Heavy Duty Pine Stretcher bars are very good. The trick is to pick a brand and stay with it as they fit brand to brand ( as well as size to size). I like the larger stretcher bars as they need little cross support on bigger canvass sizes. Dick Blick website is a good place to buy them.
