David, this is a fantastic video and so important for people to know if they’re just starting out. The difference in quality is pretty evident, even between the level 1 and level 3. Thanks for educating the masses. We appreciate it! 🐻
Great video!! I love the value packs for trying new things and colors on them and then level 2 or 3 for my masterpieces 😊 But for the first yr of learning...value packs were my go to for sure!!! Thanks for all the time you take to to help all of us!!
Thank you for explaining this David!! I could never totally figure out what the difference was lol. With larger paintings I go with how the framing looks on the back. For the really big paintings, I look for cross supports that will help with keeping the canvas tight and give support for all of that weight from the paint. I think it also makes a difference with what type of paint you’re using. House paint is a lot heavier than “craft” paint, etc. So many things factor into it. Another great video!!! 💗
This is a really great video even for those of us who have been pouring awhile. I like the thread count analogy, and I've never bothered to look at the frame sizes before. Really great info, thank you!
Thank you! I’ve been trying to decide on the sale items the last couple of days and this helps. I also just realized this week you have a wonderful website that is packed with great information 😊👍🏼
I never really understood the difference so thank you very much. I watched this earlier and wanted you to know I love the way you explain things. This has been saved to my playlist 😊
Wow thanks David I try and stay with level 2 and 3 and get them on sale. I had no idea you could cut the canvas off the frame and use it. This was a great video, well really all of your video are great.❤
Glad I could help Jan. A lot of really big canvases get shipped rolled up and then the new owner gets them restretched on a new canvas. That is for a lot of acrylic and oil art.
Thanks for a very informative video. I’m brand new and binging videos to learn. I wondered about the various canvases. You’re an outstanding teacher. Cheers.
Thanks for this info David! I knew about the way canvas was wrapped, but not that they are different weights and gesso contents. {My stash of experiments is getting out of control too!}
Thank you soooo much for this capsule. Really very interesting video. There is a lot of information in this tutorial. I'll have to listen to it more than once because sometimes it goes fast for me!! 😉 I understand the differences better, what to look for and how to make a choice. Thanks for explaining the specials too!! 👍💕
You are a wealth of knowledge and the pouring nation benefits so much from the raw information you works so hard to put together for us. At this point I have so many pours that are stacked in my studio that I need to go through them and just start chucking. It's hardest to admit defeat with those expensive canvases so I hold onto those the longest hoping ill have time to do something over them. Eventually I will reach a point where I can just donate them and let it be someone else's headache 😅
@@LeftBrainedArtist oh good call, ill try that. I soaked a couple but the paint wouldn't peel off and it ruined the frames. I'll see if I can dry peel.
Great video. All the pricing charts for selling show the amount paint per sq inch as a guide, never taking in consideration the quality of the canvas. (Or difficulty of technique). I have always felt this is important to know. Great info as always.
Different brands here in New Zealand. Something I will be aware of it how tidy the canvas is folded, as can stick out so seen. I prefer the gallery wrapped ones as don't need to frame them but they do take up more space.
Great video! I’m a value pack or level 3 person too 😆 I actually find that Michael’s level 3 have a much coarser texture than the Master’s Touch canvases at Hobby Lobby, and perhaps even than value packs…maybe it’s because it’s just a heavier fabric.
I’ve been getting the level 2, or the 11/16 width canvases from Jerry’s Artarama “The Edge”. I get that width because I can pack more paintings when I set up for a weekend art show.
I use XPS panels (insulation) now. $8 for a 47" x 23" panel. 1.5" thickness (for "3D canvas" look) I usually buy a 10 pack Mind you, I cover my paintings with epoxy (which prevents dent and scratches). Lightly sand the surface (and round the edges) to cut the shiny surface and let the paint adhere I even bought a foamcutter, just to make round panels, as well.
Not everyone knows this, but I thought I’d share! Sams club carries a pack of 12x16 inch canvases. They are cheaper, but great to practice on! I’ve been having really bad luck with Michaels canvases lately. A lot of them have been bowed even when I purchase them. I’ve done a curbside pickup and delivery before, and have to return half because they don’t sit flat against the wall. I’ve looked into buying from blick, but can’t pass up that buy 1 get 2 free/ or buy 2 get 1 free deal from Michaels!
I lay them on the ground in the store to make sure they are flat but I know what you mean. You can actually use stretchers to help them also although they don't come with them natively which is annoying.
Started making my own, saving $40 on a 48X48in canvas instead of buying premade. 1.5 inch bars and 10oz canvas with Golden gesso, which is generally more expensive than cheap gesso. The small packs the art stores have are nice though for small projects, I tend to re-gesso premade ones and wet sand them smooth.
I noticed your paintings are stacked in storage on the shelf. Do you have them varnished/sealed, and do they ever stick together when you attempt to take one out?
I only stack them after they are varnished and never more than a few deep. I am also in a high desert so we don't get a lot of humidity to cause sticking like others do.
Great videos. How does one prevent the underrunning of the excess paint? The backs of mine get so rough, I don't like the look of them for gifting/etc. I use spacers to give it relief from the bottom but it still gets curled
Most people tape them. However, I have found that 99.99% of the people that get my paintings could care less about the backside. As a matter of fact I have multiple people comment that they love the back being messy. Shows that this was a handmade piece of art and not a mass replica. I think it bothers most artist way more than anyone receiving the painting (the painter's curse it is called).
Just water. Man that was a serious oversight. VERY little water. using a slightly damp rag over the back it an option too to make sure you don't use too much.
Great info, thank you! I never knew what the slots on the back of canvases were for (Stretching, apparently) and I had no idea what gallery wrapped meant or looked like. Super helpful. Probably a silly question, but is the amount of gesso something to worry about? Is there benefit to adding a layer before pouring? I know some people prefer to use a layer on top of an old pour, before re-using but not sure if there is any advantage to adding a layer to a new canvas. Thank you!
For acrylic pouring artist I don't think the gesso is as important but the more you have you generally get a more uniform undercoat which makes less of the canvas weave show through the dried pour.
Thanks for another really helpful video. Our Michaels has just opened after a fire before Christmas so I was planning a canvas buy (as they're on sale right now). I think I'll look for some better quality ones although Dollarama does really good canvases too surprisingly. One question - if you are putting down a base layer is there going to be any difference between a white canvas and a black? Or what is the point of a black canvas? Would it change the colours you put down? Thanks so much.
For pouring there isn't any difference between white and black unless you are using a ton of transparent colors so the base would actually show through.
This is a really good video for beginners, I've been pouring for a year approximately and I was wondering about the differences. So thanks! I also noticed that the more gesso they use on the canvas- the more likely you can re use the canvas over and over. When there is only a little bit of gesso the cotton rips a lot faster. About spraying the back with water, does is only work one time? Or could I spray every few months when I notice the back isn't tight as it should?
@@LeftBrainedArtist David, I want to thank you again. Your suggestion for a floating frame was perfect. I had never seen a floating frame so i went to Michael's and the only ones I saw 14" and up. The woman at the frame dept suggested a shadow box. So of course i bought it. Uhm.. no good didnt work. I went back this morning to return it and it was a clearance item. Can't return it. However, low and behold what wasn't there yesterday was 8x10 floating frames buy one get one free. It was perfect. This was my second try at the pours. What was supposed to be a reverse flower ended up being an abstract Iris. Lol. The product Drizzle that Michael's has is crappy. There is a lid on the shape that doest stay on. When i lifted it up the lid was in my hand the bottom landed side ways. So I wound up using my dryer. I returned it and got a 5 split cup instead. Now that I've seen you do an open pour maybe thats the reason the lid comes off. But still the lid should actyally snap in place. However, it was a Christmas gift. My best friend loved it. So thank you thank you. Your's is the most informative site. Its greatly appreciated. ❤
I’m turning to you for a possible recommendation on an alternative to the VALLEJO pouring medium that is iridescent and personalized as it is sold out everywhere. Is there anything else that you might recommend? Appreciate your help so very very much.
Hmm, I haven't tried anything else but I have a few iridescent mediums. I assume you mean for the Reverse flower dip? I'll see if I can't do some experiments with those.
If you are really worried about your canvas, buy it by the roll and buy your wood stretchers as individual sections and stretch your own....gesso it as much as you like and there you have it folks. I'm sure Van Gogh made his own and they were probably fastened on the back and not like our current gallery wraps. Don't get all caught up in all the hype and BS, paint and enjoy yourself ))
I am in Québec, I find Michaels painting supplies are ALL overpriced, cause of their 30%coupon politics... Only worth it when they have sales but even them sometimes not worth it as thé initial price are Always higher ! I prefer Des Serres stores or buying Arteza canvas Amazon, for practice. Great vidéo Thank you ! 👍
I totally do Dolores. Generally I work on my blog or I play the piano/guitar for a few days to change my artistic tuning as it were and then go back to painting. That always seems to help me.
@@LeftBrainedArtist Oh that is Great you Play Piano and Guitar.. That's wonderful and a great diversion. My only diversion are animals I love all sorts..But I wish I learned an instrument. I sang In a choir..LOL..I also sang some solo's Hahaha. I crack myself up.. I use to find painting such a me thing, relaxing and in my head space... I do Hope it comes back...
You'll always find outliers for sure. My point here is use the packs (cheapest) or the level 2/3. The level 1 gives no value over the even cheaper versions and for very little additional cost you can get ones that look nicer and have more strength.
Paint pourers, aka glorified spills lol . When you HAVE NO REAL ARTISTIC TALENT but you insist you are still an artist..... 😂 . I think it's a cool craft but to be considered a fine art

That is a great point. The painting surface makes a huge difference on material cost.
Thank you. I've never considered the quality of the canvas when doing paint pours.

Yay, Finally - I always ask the difference in Value Pack and Level 1, when shopping at Michael’s. I am beyond impressed that you figured it out!

I’ve been getting the level 2, or the 11/16 width canvases from Jerry’s Artarama “The Edge”. I get that width because I can pack more paintings when I set up for a weekend art show.
I'll take a look. Thanks!

A coat of PVA and a coat of gesso on the back strengthen the cheaper ones.

Great information! What are your thoughts on the quality of canvas at Michael's vs. Hobby Lobby, Jerry's or Dick Blick?
I haen't bought canvases from HL but Jerry's and Blick are pretty similar. I could do a comparison of all of them sometime soon too.
Wonderful video. Thanks.

Love the texture of level 2, but when I paint large, I go with level 3 because I did a large level 2 and it warped.
Yeah, that is exactly my issue with it. 3 so much more beefy for not much more cost.

Once you have acrylic dried on one side it doesn't really work anymore.

Grey video thanks for y .
Thanks for watching Pamela.
It don’t matter what you paint on....I’ve seen these cheap canvases with a painting of £8ooo work on them
You'll always find outliers for sure. My point here is use the packs (cheapest) or the level 2/3. The level 1 gives no value over the even cheaper versions and for very little additional cost you can get ones that look nicer and have more strength.
Once a year they are on SUPERSALE 40% off
I GET 30 OF Em assorted.
Every three months they are buy 1 get 2 free so they are about 66% off. That is when I stock up on the big ones.

There is an old trick to tightening canvases easily
Wetting the back side and letting it dry? That works great for higher quality canvas but not so much for lower quality ones.
Paint pourers, aka glorified spills lol . When you HAVE NO REAL ARTISTIC TALENT but you insist you are still an artist..... 😂 . I think it's a cool craft but to be considered a fine art
