Hey there! When you do these “how to” videos, it makes me want to go out and get canvas to stretch! But, then I would be forced to buy painting supplies and start painting again. Sadly, I’m not going to. I will continue to paint vicariously through you (can one do that?) Or live vicariously and hilariously through your efforts. Party on!
Very great video Lydia…I just had a 36x36 failed 3x canvas. Took the canvas off and pitched it. Kept the frame to stretch one. This is perfect timing. Good to know that about stapled back canvases. Makes sense
I so read that wrong and thought, why would I want to 'sketch' a canvas??? D'oh!! This is something we take for grated, spolied with pre-mades from art supply stores... Imagaine what the old masters went through, AND they had to make their own paint!! Keep up the great work, you're fun to watch and WAAAAY talented... 👍👍😍😍
I can't wait to see your next painting. Looks really awesome. I really love your work...so soooo cool. Also, love how you do your videos...also very creative.
It worked! I totally got the concept TIME before you said it! 😁🥳 Excited for the video! I remember canvas stretching from high school art class but never heard of a canvas stretcher, cheep a$$ school! Lol! Good squat job! I would have fallen or had paralyzing cramps 30 seconds in! 😂🤣😂
What thickness of canvas rolls & texture do you recommend from Blinks? I love you & your channel. You are so talented & give me such inspiration. I have been doing art on & off for years it makes me happy until its doesn't turn out the way I imagined, then I stop walk away & cuss a lot, work out, punch the bag. Im doing this to relax not to torture myself... so I watch you and get a whole new outlook on this adventure, so THANKYOU!. You're so funny, I can relate with your hot flashes, Im almost done with those suckers, but my lil sister is a full blown sweat ball right now.🤣 Ive been binge watching your videos!
I usually go with medium for mixed media. If I'm painting something with a lot of small detail, I'll want a smooth canvas like portrait smooth. Thank you so much!
Hi Teresa! I get all my stretcher bars and keys from Blick Art as well as cross bar supports if they are needed. I use the heavy duty bars, but they also have standard size. I can do a video on building the frame.😊
I feel ya! Getting older is not for sissies! Love your work thank you for the help!

I’ve done a few pieces on the concept of time, it’s one of the subjects that never gets old to me. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Thanks for this 👌🏻🙌🏻

Do you have a how to for making the frame, wood type,and all that nifty info.

I’ve never seen this done! Thank you! PS. I hate long sleeve shirts…. 👍
Perfect timing, thanks Lydia! Bonus thanks for the quirky hilarity 😂
❤❤❤
Thanks for this, I'm also going to make my own frames I think. Hot flushes, aren't they just so much fun 😒🥵🥴
