So long as you purchase the canvas from a reputable art producer you should be OK (Winsor Newton, Daler Rowney) If completing a large painting, prefer thick, strong canvas to the thinner variety. Stretching over a wooden frame is OK so long as the painting is kept in a dry place, otherwise protect the wood with a coat of primer and use metal braces. If stretching the canvas yourself, exert equal tension over the canvas as you staple it to the frame. A large painting will require crossbeams over the frame.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207787161205505738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946490203679690440.post-59148294127145947742012-03-07T07:28:41.610-08:002012-03-07T07:28:41.610-08:00I am so impressed with your knowledge, so I am won...I am so impressed with your knowledge, so I am wondering if you have a post about helping to keep a canvas from warping. Metal braces vs. wood, etc.? Anything dealing with canvas warp. I will be painting a large canvas in oil for someone, and I need to know that it won't warp over time.<br />thanks!<br />jennysupplies overflowing!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02701676503667687058noreply@blogger.com
