ok so I came across this video of yours when I searched for a way to clean my canvas panel from mildew (before painting on it), but I didn't get any tip or tricks or anything as such so far. I would like to really know how to clean them off and properly maintain my art post-painting. Please reply to my comment as soon as possible, i just wanna paint something on it before the idea just poofs off my head ... if you know what i mean.
Hi there! This isn't a very quickly reply, sorry about that. Dad says: wash it off as much as possible with soap and water, and then apply a light bleach solution, let it rest and then wash it off. The bleach should kill off the mildew. This should work, as long as it is a blank canvas. Once done, you should re-gesso the canvas. We hope this helps! 🙂 Jess
You discuss only cardboard-backed panels, while I would like to paint on unstretched canvas and glue the finished painting to a rigid panel. Have you any experience using panels with more durable backing?
You could glue it onto particle board, or a good quality ply. It's a similar process to stretching a new canvas onto board. Just make sure the board you use is indeed rigid enough to take the canvas, as it will be pulled as the glue dries.
I bought Canvas boards from Blick, and they warp like crazy! I have heard about 4 x 8 x 1/4" aluminum sheets which should work really well if sanded with a fine grit. Any thoughts on that?
*Big question: do you call these "canvas boards" or "canvas panels"?* I called them boards because that's what I know them as, but then looked up info later and everyone calls them "panels"! 🤔 Interested to know your experience! 🌟 Jess
Hi. Interesting to see those bigger boards. I'm somewhat new at painting, so I haven't locked down calling them boards or panels. I noticed on the back of mine, they say "canvas panel". I have also accumulated an amount of the small mdf board/panels. Lately, I have been taping off rectangle shapes on canvas sheets out of my canvas pad. I hope to make a new vid soon. 🙂
@@natesoilpaints That's good insight! Oh yeah, those mdf boards can be lovely to paint on as well. Check out some folk-art videos, as quite often there's particular types of acrylic paints folk artists use on wood. Comes up a real treat! It's pretty fun to try different surfaces and see what suits your style 🙂
Thanks for sharing this informative video❤

you can use mdf panels when you want to practice. just make sure to prep them. plenty of videos on youtube and its the cheapest method.
