Thank you! Straightforward, no fluff, just good info and advice! I love it when professionals share their expertise.
My very first panting I used nails and bent them back to hold the painting in.. Woo Hoo! Thank you for showing the offset clips!
You demonstrated it with such precision and grace, apart from learning how to frame a canvas picture, I feel too happy just seeing this in general !
Awesome! I have some oil paintings and a sketch (originally I was going to paint it, decided against it when I finished drawing it) done on canvas and wanted to frame and hand them correctly. You make it look easy! Love the offset clips!
Thank you ! I just framed my first canvas painting by myself with your video tutorial. Super easy and so helpful once I saw how you did it . Saved my evening !
Nicely done - exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks! I've had a canvas painting that I bought in Paris sitting in my home for about 5 years now... frameless. Now I know what to do with it!
Offset clips - makes perfect sense. Now if I could just find them in a local store.
Also appreciated the tip about a breathing hole for the canvas. Never would have thought of that on my own. Cheers, thanks for the great video.
Thank you for the great instructions!! It looks like I could frame my canvas (stretched) fairly easily now. I'll try it.
Awesome. Very professional looking. Just the video I was looking for. Thank you.
Great video, thank you. Your finished product looks perfect.
Thank you!! I finally framed a painting of my two special angel furs and it actually came out good thanks to your informative video.
Thanks Robin. I really needed this info. This helps a lot.
Super class! It saved a lot of my time to find out a framed canvas method.
nice work, Robin. thanks for the presentation.
Very helpful. Not rushed. Clear. Thank you.
what an awesome video, some of this would also apply to just hanging pictures in general too, very helpful!
Very clear and very easy to understand. Thank you!!
Canvases don't need a ventilation hole. There isn't much you can do to protect your canvas from temperature change or humidity change other than applying a protectant to the canvas itself; depending on the medium used. Any deformations in a canvas are due to the canvas itself, not the frame.
With oils, they must breathe. Never fully enclose the back of oil work it could lead to cracking in the future.
good video. I liked it very much. I'm gonna go exactly what the video says. I already have the frame. I just need all the little metal parts.
Great job! Thank you for the tutorial!
Great video and tips. Thank you so much.
Perfection! Just what I needed!!
Thank you! That’s exactly what I needed to know.
Hello. Your video was perfect for me. I'm glad I came across it. Thank you so much. 💓
This was so helpful. Thank you!
Thanks. This video was very helpful.
this was a HUGE help to me! thanks SO much!
What a great commercial- LOVED IT!
me too.. I have a print from Germany last year and a recent Amsterdam trip... I wish this video had more details on sizing and depth :/
Thank you! Very good and helpful video!
Thank you. Very nicely done.
Thanks Robin most helpful! :-D
Thanks for such a clever idea, I shared tis on Pinterest
Wow, video in how to is amazing and easy to follow, thx
thank u. Your frame is very beautiful.
Great idea! your the Lady. Thank's ,Mr.G
Great job and thank you for sharing!
Your work is awesome...
Thanks for the video! Do you know where I could find frames like this for larger canvases?
Great, thorough video! I need some advice on framing flat panel canvas. Do you have any for me? Thanks!
As an artist, I much prefer to see archival framing. If you use an acidic frame, such as wood or aluminum, then you should probably try rabbet sealing them with sealing tape or wax. I would have liked to have seen this done on the tutorial.
Great advice, thank you. But, what if you want to use a mat? - Is there any way to do that, while keeping the canvas on the stretcher bars?
great video thanks :)
Good video but doesn't the breathing hole defeat the entire purpose of installing a dust cover to the back? The paper used should be breathable enough without allowing insects, dirt and dust settling on the back of your canvas.
That's what I was thinking. Maybe a silk-screened backing (if that's not over-thinking things...).
Thanks Robin!
thank you so much, its really useful..
VERY helpful. Thank you.
Great video thanks!
awesome. thanks.
So you don't need the frame's rebate depth to be greater than the canvas depth! cool.
Do you mean, as deep as the stretcher box? I had the same thought.
great video, thanks!
I'm wanting to make the frame itself. Is there a tutorial on how to do that?
Do you predrill holes before running your screws into the frame??
Great perfection...!🙏💛
Is there glass in the frame? just wondering...
Is it a different process for canvas paintings?
does this work for canvas you painted on?
Thank you for this :)
youre a life saver!!!
where do I buy offset clips?
What if you want to in close inside with glass front?
just what i needed
Yes, oils breath. If you frame an oil painting that hasn't had proper time to dry (years sometimes) behind a glass frame the glass will turn yellow from the fumes. Ventilation is necessary sometimes.
thank you for the information! :)
I so need this!
I know it - so helpful to me too!
it depends on the type of medium your friend uses. If it is oil, you don't want to use glass as a cover, or the fumes from the paint with start to steam up the picture. If its acrylic paint, that is debatable. I am an artist, and personally I don't use glass on my paintings (which art acrylic), but some argue that the color will fade if there's no cover... has happened to me yet. Water colors, you should use a glass top or covering to protect it. Hope this helps.
Would have been nice to see you make the frame , probably the most important process of framing
great job! I didn`t know any of that. So I do appreciate it. Thanks!!
Is that a regular picture frame minus the glass and the back?
What if you don’t have a power drill?
Thank you so much
Robin-
What do you use instead of offset clips if there is no offset? If the rabbet depth is the same depth as the stretcher frame?
Im sure this commenter has figured It out in the last 7 years but the answer for the new crowd is called: zero depth offset canvas clips. (there are a range of sizes)
where can I buy the dust cover?
PLEASE HELP ME IM GOING MAD LOOKING FOR A CANVAS FRAME! everywhere is shut nowadays (due to covid19) and I need a frame to sell a canvas! Can I just use a regular frame with a deep enough inset for frame width? Or does it need to be a special canvas frame (which are so expensive! Up to £70.. and the painting is only £100 lol)
I spent $260 at Hobby Lobby for one small Rothko print to be framed! Will never do that again! Thank you!
I like what you did ,except the hole cut into the back,
I prefer mine closed
Thank you
Any update or new way?
Im having a friend to a piece of artwork for me. I'm just wondering, as it will be an original and therefore with raised brushstrokes, should it be framed with glass or is that a big no no?
No glass on paintings
Hi, Thank you for this very good video. I want to buy the double face sticky tape, but I have no idea how it's called or where to find it. If somebody would be so kind to give me that information, I'll be grateful.
Walmart office supply stores or even dollar stores carry double faced tape
Thank youuu!!!
I got the canvasprint, not stretched on a frame. Anyone know what I will look for? I need to find the word for that first basic frame. #Noob

the "frame" a canvas is on...are typically called stretcher bars. normally they're wood. come pre-cut, and you buy them in various lengths. unless your canvas is exceptionally large, you prob won't need additional support...so you'd just assemble the stretcher bars. whatever art or hobby store you buy them from can probably give you tips/advice on how best to put it together. Can tell you... generally the canvas. printed images are on. is much more nylon-ish in feel...whatever process they print these things by... the canvas isn't really canvas i don't think. sometimes it's a pain in the ass "stretching" those prints over stretcher bars. there's also...tools used to stretch canvas. but can prob make do with pliers, and will need a staple gun of some sort
no body
Thank you for the advice, because i wondered too. 👍
Some ppl can't give advice without being an azz...
So i thank you. 😉
very good but I think the breather hole at the back would be better to have a fine Gauze stuck over it Robin to keep the wee Beasties out such as spiders ?In there they would set up house and maybe invite the flies in to have a party like "Come into my parlour" said the spider to the fly ? Best wishes from Ireland.
What a pro

I wish she'd shown more detail with applying the cable system to the back of the picture.
That's the hard part for me. :(
I agree. I could not tell exactly what she was doing with the wire, and her hand was blocking the camera most of the time. Would have been helpful.
Just use regular picture wire... cabling systems are rare and not worth the trouble. I tie a knot in one end (bit hard with stiff wire), then on the other end twist it tightly around itself after going through the eye hook.
Thank you! :)
what kind of paper is that you put on the back??
just simple brown shipping paper, you can pick it up in rolls at your local craft store or even a post office
Gorgeous woman 👏👏
Where can I buy these?
Canvas does not breathe and there is no benefit at all to cutting a "ventilation hole" in the backing. The only thing it does is make it easier for insects to get into a dark, protected space where they can set up home and allows dust to collect in the back. Canvas sagging can be caused by humidity and changing temperatures but a hole in the back has no effect on it at all.
Oils do breath and the back of an oil should never be fully encased.
@@gialana850 Yes any artist that makes their own stretcher bars could remove the canvas and re-stretch it. Depending upon how old and fragile the canvas is it may tear when pulling on the (back) edges, but a wide set of canvas pliers will help. Just time consuming and stretcher bars aren't too cheap either.
@@prichardgs but the whole front of the thing is open
Thank you. How would you frame a think canvas panel that has been resined?
"I've already cut and built a frame for this one...".
Whoa slow down there--that's the most important part! How thick should the frame be? Any guidelines? How deep and wide should the rabbit be? Is it generally better to make a thicker frame with rabbit deep enough so that the stretcher box (?) is flush with the back, so offset clips aren't necessary?
Offset clips are always necessary to hold the canvas to the frame. Or some kind of tape might work, but you really want it pretty tight in there. Frames - depends upon what you're framing... I'd google some more for frame choices, but I like to choose a color from the inside of the painting that contrasts with the outside of the painting. Or just use something with contrast that looks close, if I already have a frame from another artwork I'm re-using.
great video - I do wish you would have shown how to exactly thread that wire properly the way you did - otherwise very informative and good quality.
I don’t like that the canvas is thicker than the rabbet depth of the frame.
careful what length of screws you use with fittings like that as it can come through other side of your frame................i used to use fittings called Z clips years ago (im in UK).....the lower end of the Z shape was pointed and one end hammered into frame and other end hammered into stretcher to hold it all in place - was also pointed...was simple and very effective....check out one of my oil paintings on my channel from around 1992
Everything was ok except that you didn't mentioned how to make the frame or where to get it.
she just showed "how to frame " a painting that is on stretched canvas, and not how to MAKE A FRAME! You can either get a ready made frame from Michaels or Hobbylobby or even from salvation store!!!!!!

I think your caps lock is sticking on...
Either that or you may be having a stroke. 🙈
Why the fuck are y’all so damn salty
Good
Ha 😅
Here I am at 3am, like I'm gonna learn how to frame this painting that I want to impulse buy....
Fog catchers, subcutaneous contraceptives, the system which allows to build the biggest swimming pools in the world, the metrics used to meassure seismic intensity, hepatitis B vaccine, etc.; plus, I will always admire the great minds who have contributed to our world, no matter where they're from. I'm afraid my message was not well understood. Anyway, the video is pretty helpful
You’ll need a different setup if you have gallery wrapped canvas, it won’t this way
Off-set clips! THAT'S what I needed to know.
Thanks for wearing a 7-pound wedding ring so I could hear you, my love.. 😀
