This is exactly what I needed for my DIY projects! I need different sizes of canvas than what can be found in stores, this is easy and you explain it so simply. THANK YOU!!!!
This is brilliant! It was the first method I looked at and I went on to look at many others, all of which were unnecessarily complicated and expensive. I've just been out to my studio and prepared a handful of boards in a very short time. Thank you!
Wowww! That was soooo good and simple, clear and succinct, thank you, Haidee Jo Summers!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I've made a few panels now using these steps and they are great.
This tutorial was spot on .. very well done .. and thank you for making it easy to follow .. 👍
This is a very inspiring video. Thank you so much and well done !

This is fantastic and I love your artwork! Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Yes. Nice paintings.
Love the video! It was just what I was looking for :) :)
beautiful video, thank you!
Great tutorial! I've been making my own boards for years and they work very well and give one a great feeling of satisfaction. One thing though, I would worry about the back...a beautiful masterpiece with a messy back?? Before I glue the fabric to the board, I draw the outline of the board in pencil on the fabric, then with a rule, measure another 1 and 1/2" border in pencil all round the edge of the board outline and cut along the outer edges. Then apply PVA glue (much cheaper than gesso) to the board, line it up with its outline on the fabric, apply glue to the overlapping fabric edges, fold back and make sure the corners are glued down securely and...and there you have a beautiful neat board ready to be primed! And no shame when a potential buyer looks at the back :-) I hope that helps, happy painting!
How you preparing boards, pls explain
@@swethar9724 hi there! Cut your board to desired size. Masure the canvas to same size but allow 2" border around edges. Use pva glue to glue fabric to board. Happy painting.

Can you use white acrylic paint to coat the board and cloth?
Please reply. I'm doing a project at the University of Arts in New York! ☺
@@libchute2194 Ask your teacher. I think that would be an expensive solution though.
That was my thought too -- does she actually sell these as finished paintings? Or perhaps they're just for her plein air and initial concepts for later finished pieces on higher quality supports. I've always been warned to use the best quality materials I can afford if I want to attract real collectors.
Thanks best instructional vid, I'm just setting up painting workshop holiday business and this will be a cheaper and easy option for my students to take on painting trips thanks again brilliant x
Good idea and very well done! Best way to make canvass panel boards!
dishsoapful brule Glad you enjoyed it :)
excellent demo...thanks And thumbs up!!
Thank you!!! I can’t wait to do mine!! ❤️
Very well done video! Thank you.
PRO TIP: Instead of coating the board first, coat the muslin. It also helps to use a spray bottle filled with water to moisten the muslin first. Then coat the panel. Doing it this way will insure that the gesso will defiantly adhere itself to the panel very, very well. Use a squeegee to flatten and pull the air bubble underneath out of the muslin and spread the cloth evenly. I do not know why you use PVA glue on one side and not the other... makes no sense at all. I use PVA glue instead of gesso to begin with. PVA seals the panel and muslin to be more archival. Then put any ground overtop. If you are painting with oils, then coating over gesso with acrylic is not recommended. Delamination problems pop up in the distant future. If you are going to paint acrylics, it does not matter.
Thanks for your tip. Very useful. I have seen other videos using PVA glue instead of gesso on the board. I will try your way to create the canvas.
As for the cloth, i believe any texture cloth similar to muslin should work. I will try my abandoned bed sheets.
@@katherineyg5013 I myself use cotton 600 count for a smooth finish, but there is a huge difference between muslin and linen- for one, Muslin is a cotton fabric of plain weave of Bangladesh and Linen is a textile made from spun flax fiber. The Flax fiber does not degrade as cotton does, has a higher fiber content and is not prone moisture as much as cotton. For this reason it is considered much more archival.
Nice explaining and preparing
Excellent and very helpful tutorial :) Will share!
Thank you so much for this very worthy video content, keep up the good Work.. Godbless you
wow ...very nice........thank you
Great idea. I saw this video some time ago and bought the muslin and board - then I couldn't find the video again. Can't wait to try this.

I do love your paintings

Thankyou!!! much better than glue and cardboard!!
really useful, thank you!
thank you, very useful video...
Oh heck yeah! Thanks so much.
This is exactly what I needed, what a great resource this video is. Thanks for sharing!
I only wish she had shown how to finish the back.
Jaclyn. Just before the glue is completely dry, remove the ragged edge at the back, using a craft-knife guided by a straight-edge. Cut through to the board. Peel off the ragged edges. Then cover the back with a piece of inexpensive watercolour paper, glued over the canvas edges. This also equalises the 'stretch' and helps to stop the board buckling as the canvas dries. I hope that helps you.
Jazzwayze Wonderful, thank you very much!
Great money saver. Thanks
Thank You very much, its so informative and useful. can you please let us know what kind of ready made frame you have used to frame the art work.
oh 😵eeeeasy thank you
for the great easy
tutorial
Thanks so much!!
Thnqqqq so much maam... 😊😊😊your video is very useful..... 😇
Thanks, Haidee.
Making one's own boards is satisfying, I agree. But it does take a lot of time; time I could spend painting; when I'm not guitar-ing! Thanks for this.
Wow good idea👍😘
Wowww😍😍😍
Thank you so much!!!!!
Thanks! Much appreciated :-)
Wonder if a tinted Gesso for the final coat might be better for filling/smoothing (followed by 2000 grit paper)
I guess I will find out
thanks for a great informative video . ;)
Excellent!
Really useful video nice one
Wow nice idea for making cheap canvas👍👍👍
I love this vedio
Thank you very lovely...
thanks for sharing, can I ask after I paint... Can I ask if I remove the canvas and put it to a frame
Thanks for this video...
I cover ply, craftboard and masonite up to 4ft by 3ft and even bigger. I stop it warping by painting the back in a cross and or using wooden battons. I have also clamped them between two study plywood panels when touch dry with good success.
I cover boards with linen, cotton duck and also damask, and polyester etc.
Firefly Eloise Hi, do you use the gesso to cover them like in this demonstration? I have canvas but not the muslin (sp?) cloth.
FudgeandCheese Hi, Yes I cover the canvas in gesso. I generally use canvas and not muslin. If you make the boards more than 90cmx120cm it is a good idea to brace them on the back with some dressed pine.
Firefly Eloise Thank you so much for your response. I made some today using pine plywood > Elmer's carpenter glue > canvas > layer of gesso (Daler Rowney) > layer of acrylic primer (household type). Everything looks great so far! I can't wait to use it.
What over cloth material can I use for this project?
what type of muslin do I need.If I make bigger boards do I need thicker mdf. great idea
Excellent presentation and I love your accent.
What kind of cloth did you use? Any specification or requirement for the cloth? And I wonder if I could make large size of canvas board (like 30x40 inches or a bit larger) this way?
Many thanks for this video, so very helpful. I have just finished an oil painting on box canvas. I have quite a bit of unwanted area and I want to remove it from the stretcher and stick it to MDF board. Do you prime the MDF? Also what glue do you use to stick the canvas onto the MDF? I have heard that you should use an ACID FREE PVA (do you have a make you could recommend?. Once again, thank you for taking the time to share this.
Thank you madam...😍😍
which primer is used here please tell me I am a beginner
Could you please make a list with the things you’re using, I don’t understand 😔
can we use heatgun to dry the gesso ???
Very nice. 👌🍃🌷🍃
How does painting on the muslin compare with linen? Can you mount linen the same way?
Bless you! : )
very well explained
Thank you so much :)
What type of muslin fabric was that? I can only find cheese cloth which has big holes
nice demo thanks
thank you!!!
will make my own 🥰🥰
How long should you let the acrylic undercoat dry before you paint on it?
can you please tell me the things you used in making the canvas.the list of things..plz
Ya
What the paper u use in this canvas?,pls tell me .....
thank mam for teaching me
Thanks for sharing this amazing idea, I have two questions, which kind of fabric I can use for it? And what is the name of this glue that you used for back of canvas?!
PVA glue
Thank you
If I use cotton canvas, which is thicker, can I take this method to stick the fabric on the board ?
Hw do you hang it up?
This is a great video for making my own art boards. I’ve only used ready-made canvases. I am looking to make different size canvases instead of the average size. More long horizontal paintings. I am not familiar with the color Pale Umber. Is there such a color or is there a color similar to this to the Pale Umber? Thanks
Use any colour and adjust accordingly. Why not tint the gesso?
Plz name the materials which u used.. Plz plzzzxxxxzzzz
Brilliant
what did u apply on the board and then on the muslin fabric
Gesso primer
Nice idea
You need to put a sealer on the board before the gesso...This board can warp......What is the brand name of the Pale Umber......and where can I order it from? Thanks
As long as you treat the back in the same way as the front, it will not warp. In other words, if you use gesso on the face, treat the back with gesso after the front has dried.
Hi Haidee ,, can you tell us where to buy muslin please ?
I just want to ask. What kind of fabric did you used?
I mean cloth. Haha thanks.
Can you please mention the paint name in the description box? Even better if you can link it on amazon. Thanks for the video
What is the name of that tan undercoat? I think I see Galleria?
Is therr any alternative to mdf board?
