NOTE FROM THE ARTIST:
In this video you will see me adding tension to an already taunt canvas and then distributing the tension evenly. I use some special techniques to achieve the perfect amount of tension in all my stretched canvas. The solution I use is actually a special mixture utilizing water as a base, sorry but I will not elaborate on my exact ingredients and other custom techniques other than what you see on the video. The solution is used to stretch the fibers of the canvas evenly and consistently, and when the canvas is left alone to air dry (finished side up) the tension increases as the water evaporates - a uniform finish is achieved. Tension is very important, it greatly increases the durability and the aesthetic qualities of the painting. It also safeguards the paintings tension against any changes in humidity or temperature due to sale or transfer of Art-Work. These techniques may take you a while to master, but when you do - you and your painting's admirers will be very satisfied. Thank you. SJG.
