    We kinda 4get that b4 all these syretching gadgets and equipments...16th century royal artists painted for kings. Nicely done.
  • I like your abstraction the best! Thank you for posting, because, I need economical stretcher bar instruction 😂

    I have recently taken up paint pouring (another Utube dive) and was wondering about custom sized canvas for specific interior wall space. You made it seem so simple, I thought I needed specific "Art" equipment, turns out I have almost everything you used in my Garage. Great informative Video! Thanks
  • You would have needed to bevel the upper part of the frame. Otherwise the canvas would touch the wood and create a stripe. You also need canvas stretching pliers.
  • Thank you so much man, this is exactly what I needed. I'm not an artist, just a guy who bought some pre prints off Amazon lol. Now they look amazing, no need for actual stretcher plyers or anything!

    Very helpful! Clear, concise instructions. Looking forward to stretching my own frames.

    Liked the video. Straight and to the point. Good job.
  • thanks for the simplicity! I do fish prints on canvas and going to give this a go this week. cheers from Santa Cruz, Ca.

    Great vid! Simple, precise, u make it look easy! Thank you
  • Nicely done! I've been making my own frames but haven't tried canvas yet. I'm glad to see this because, as you said, it seems that most of the videos are showing "fancy" wood they call stretchers. That pretty much kept me from trying it. Time to order some canvas, get printing, and get stretching!

    Yay! Nice and to the point. This video was perfect & exactly what I was looking for! Thanks bro!
  • In my country ALL this is luxury stuff. Unwarped wood, preped Canvas, mitter Saw... Real cheaper way: run the border inside USA, get any menial job, finally buy and paint your way out
  • @n8sterling727
    excellent! Just what I had been looking for. Thanks for making this
  • Thank you. Even a kak handed person like myself can save $100's on canvases. Thank you Clement.
