Blank canvas

February 9, 2011

The first step in the construction of a painting is always the canvas. This is the underlying structure and is designed to withstand the forces of the stretched canvas. My stretchers are specifically designed to combat twisting and bending of the stretcher which normally occurs with store-bought canvases. I wait for the glue to cure for a few hours before I start stretching the canvas over it.
