1. Stretching Canvas Intro: Hi, and welcome to painting
with autumn Sanita. And today's course we're
going to learn how to stretch canvas over a frame. Now, this is a
super helpful skill for many different reasons. Maybe you're making
a commissioned piece for someone and you need specific dimensions that you can find at your
local art store. Or maybe you want
to give your piece a really a personal touch
from beginning to end. Or in my case, it's
a Sunday afternoon and all the art
stores are closed. We're gonna be resourceful and use the things that we have at home to create this project. And that helps us to stretch our creativity as we
stretched our Canvas by being resourceful and using all the
materials that we already have on the sides, mounting a new canvas
onto a friend. And I'm also going to
show you how to strip and old Canvas off
of an old frame. So maybe you've
played around with the canvas for a little while and you don't want it anymore, but you don't want to
get rid of the frame. We're gonna keep the frame, take the old Canvas off and we're gonna
put new canvas on. Then we're going to prime
it and prepare it so that you can paint it
with your acrylics. I'll be here with you
every step of the way to show you all the
supplies and tools that you're gonna need to strip the old Canvas off of the frame to prepare your new canvas by ironing it and
cutting it properly. Then we're going to load our heavy duty staple gun and I'll show you how to
do that step by step. And then we're going to now
solution is onto our frame. I'll also show you how to
prime it with gesso that it's totally ready for you
to paint in the same day. Don't need to wait
hours or the next day, you'll be ready
to go in no time. I'm also going to share
with you some images and a supply checklist so
you'll be totally prepared. So start from the
very beginning. Remember, practice
does not make perfect. Practice does
improve the skills. So every time you do it, you'll get just a
little bit better. Your fingers are going to
get a little bit stronger. It's gonna get a little
bit easier to work the stapler and to work the
canvas around the frame. So let's get started.
2. Let's take a look at our supplies: Okay, so let's
begin by looking at the supplies we're going
to use for this project. So this is an older
Canvas that I use just to play with and test
some ideas and techniques on. But now I want to take
this old Canvas off and replace it with a new one so that I can do a new project. So I'm going to use this 100% cotton seven ounce
unprimed artist's canvas. I really, really love
working with this canvas. It's very thick and
durable and beautiful. I really like all of my projects that I've
used this canvas for. We're also going to use
a heavy-duty staple gun. And we have a package of
these Staples and I will show you how to load
your staple gun if you've not done that before. But this is definitely what
we're going to need to get this Canvas through
this wooden frame. We're also going
to be using gesso. You'll want to give
it a good shake if you haven't
used it in awhile. But this is what's gonna keep the acrylics from soaking
into your Canvas. So we want to give it
a good primer coat, and actually we're
gonna give it to coats of gesso
before I paint it. And I'm just going to use
a regular paintbrush. Now I have to mention
because I don't have this supply in this video, but you're also
going to want to get an iron and ironing board, which we're going to use
to get these creases of the canvas before we
paint it with the gesso. So we're going to iron it. Then we're going to mount it. Then we're going to
paint it with the gesso. That is all we're going to need.
3. How to take an old canvas off of a frame: For this step, we
are going to take the old Canvas off of the frame. Now, these stables are in
here really, really good. Some of them are going
to come off a little bit easy because they're stapled in line with the the canvas. The other ones are
going to be a little bit more challenging to get out. So you have to have really
strong fingers or you can use a staple remover or some
other tool to get them out. But yeah, they're rusted in there and they're
really good. So I'm actually going to leave most of the staples
inside the frame. I'm just going to come
back and cover it later. The sides are actually way more difficult because it's not really going with the
grain of the canvas, so it's going to rip
all the way down. Not really my favorite part because I will have
to come back later and get all of those little
pieces off and it's not fun. This is like the most tedious
part of this process. Like I said, if you
have some kind of staple remover or something, you can use that I actually come back later and we'll use that for for some parts that really you just got to get
in there and rip it off. I guess. I guess in a way
this is kind of therapeutic, but it's also a little
bit frustrating. You really got to work at it. Now I'll have to
come back and cut, cut some of these pieces off. But it's in there
really, really good. So this is gonna take quite
a bit of effort on my part. I also use my knife cutter. I gave his scissors, I used whatever I
could to get this off. It is not fun. Watch your fingers. Let's see if we can
get through it. The other side is easy. It goes with the
grain of the, the, the threads of the canvas
so that science easier. Then I really got to work
at this other side again. Maybe I should have
started with those two. Using my scissors, using my
fingers, using my knife. But finally we get it off. Success. Then we're going to
work on getting all of these little pieces off here.
4. How to clean up the frame before mounting new canvas: Now we need to get
these little pieces of canvas off because we don't want them showing through when we mount
our new canvas. So I've got a staple remover. It's going to help me get
some of the staples out. But even if it doesn't help
me get all the staples out, it is going to help me with getting some
of the canvas out. I really just have to use different tools and
whatever I can. Like I mentioned, these staples have been
in here for years, so they're rested and it's
super hard to get out. This is the most tedious
part of the whole process. I'm just going to start cutting
and cutting and cutting. Try to get as much of the
old Canvas office possible. I know that I will be covering this area with the new Canvas, but I don't want any
pieces hanging off that's going to make it look uneven. So it's not super important that I get this
stables off and it is super important
that I get all of these excess little pieces off. If you have to use a cutter
or your scissors or whatever, you need to, just
make sure there's no little pieces hanging
off the edge of the frame. All right. Once you've
gotten all of that taken care of now we're ready to move on
to the next step.
5. How to measure the new canvas : Now let's look at
what we've got. Here is our frame and this is actually
gonna be the front. This is the back part of
our frame, the older part. Let's set this
aside for a second and lay out our new canvas. We can see how big of a
piece are going to need. This piece is actually a little bit bigger than
I'm going to need. It was leftover from
another project. So maybe I'll even have
a little leftover to do, maybe a small canvas project. The most important thing is
that we're going to need at least an inch on every side so that we can
pull the canvas over. So let's scoot the frame over to one side and kind of check and see how much space we've got for all four of these sides. So if I pull this side over, it's enough to cover
the back part of the frame and I'll be able to staple it on
there with no problem. Let's check this side. Yep. So both of these sides
are going to be good. We've got about an
inch on both sides. Same for the end piece
here, that looks good. Then we'll just want to cut. How easy is that? We're just going to cut it
right there on that seam. And that is going to be the perfect amount of
Canvas for this project.
6. How to cut the new canvas and even out the edges: All right, so for this step, we're gonna go ahead and
cut our piece of canvas. We're very lucky that it's
right on the seam here. So I don't have to
do anything extra. I'm just going to cut right
along that line there. Now I have this piece
that I can use for maybe a couple of smaller canvas projects
that would be fun. All right, Now
let's look at this. I do not want to have all these little pieces hanging
off because it's going to make it a little bit more difficult when I'm
trying to iron this piece and I don't want them hanging off after I mounted. So rather than
waiting until after, I'm gonna go ahead
and cut them, now, you don't have to cut
every single little piece, but definitely anything
that's hanging off because you also don't
want your canvas to be unraveling or become uneven because we didn't take care of these little pieces. It's just an easy little
preventative thing that I like to do in
the very beginning. Get this long one. I don't want that to unravel. Same with these
little sign pieces. In fact, that one is
just a little bit off, so I'm just going to
even nut side out. Easy-peasy. Now
that looks great. All right, I think we're
ready to Iron our canvas.
7. How to iron out the seams and creases in the canvas: Now for this step, we are going to iron out
these creases in our Canvas. I've already laid it out
here on my ironing board. And it actually doesn't matter
which side we start on. We are going to iron out both sides to really
get these creases out. So it doesn't really matter
what side we start with. You can either use a spray
bottle or if you have a cute little iron that has a setting in it where
you can put your water inside and miss it out as ego. You can use that as well. And I have my little
turquoise ones. I just love it. I'm going to set aside
the spray bottle. I'm not going to use that today. I will use my sweet little iron, which this is actually
only thing I use it for. I'm going to set my, my setting on a medium heat. I don't want this to be too hot. I don't want to burn my canvas, but I don't want it
to be just warm. I want it to be hot
enough that it's going to get these creases out. I'm just going to give it a
couple of light sprays here. This is the Mr. setting and I'm just going to spray a little
bit of the canvas and kind of give it a little
test run and make sure I like the temperature looks good. Now I'm just going to start
working out these creases. Make sure to spray each area with a little bit of water before you go over it. That's really going to
help you get these out. Look at that as already
got that big crease. A little bit less will have to go over it a few more times, but this is already
a great start. Okay, then I'm just going
to move my canvas up, spray it a little bit more, and continue really working
on that deep crease there. Now I'm just going to move
it down a little bit, sprayed a little bit more. You can see that
steam coming off. Must mean we're doing it right. I'm just going to keep going
in the same direction. Get this other side. Mr. it really good. I keep going. Give it really nice, a really nice pressure. Keep working those out and you can already see a difference. Keep missing and
spraying as you go. Get that really deep crease. Alright, now let's flip it over and get these creases
from the other side. Still gonna missed
it down a bit. Now you don't want
it to be too wet. You don't want to
Canvas to be like wet. You just want it to
be like just missed it enough that you
can work with it where you see a little
bit of steam coming off. Another thing to remember
is we're not going to get this perfect. We're going to get as much of the creases out as
we possibly can. But it doesn't
have to be perfect because once we get
this on our frame, we're gonna be pulling
it in, stretching it. So some of the
crease is going to come out a little bit
more as we stretch it. And then as we put the gesso on, it's going to make those
creases even less visible. But I noticed that if I put on a canvas onto a frame
and skip this step, then you can still
see a little bit of the crease through the gesso
and through the acrylics. So I don't really like that. I prefer to get as much of the crease out as
they possibly can. We have this little
stubborn area here, but no worry, my cat, yeah. O'malley is coming to help me. I'm just going to keep keep missing as I go making
sure that I'm not ironing over any dry canvas because I don't want it to burn. Alright, so this is
already so much better. I'm gonna go over some
of the areas that I already worked on. Maybe they're a
little bit drier. Maybe the water
is kind of worked in to the fabric a little bit. So it's gonna be easier to go
back over it a second time. And you can see now
as I'm stretching it, the creases are
gonna be much less. The creases are
from being shipped. They ship it in like it, like they would ship
a T-shirt instead of an a role. Not sure why. All right. Now we
are ready to go.
8. How to load the heavy duty stapler: Now we're going to
get ready to load up our heavy-duty staple
gun. All right. So this is the liver, the handle here that we're
going to push down on. So hope your hands are nice
and strong. All right. I'm just going to
open it up and check and make sure that there are no staples inside there or not. Alright, so we're just going
to get some new staples. These are not regular staples, these are the heavy duty ones. And it will show you on this staple gun the direction that your
staples need to go in. So just to make sure that you're following the
guideline there and not putting them in upside down. We're going to stick
them in the correct way. Then we are going to
put it back together. It's got a little spring in it, so you might have
to push a little hard and make sure that it clicks in there and
I'll click upwards. You want to check it? All right, That all looks good. So let's just give
it a test squeeze. There we go. Alright, it's
working. We're ready.
9. How to mount the 4 sides of the canvas onto the frame: Now it's time to staple our
new canvas onto our frame. We're gonna be
working in parallels. We'll do top and bottom. And then both sides. I'm making sure that everything is still lined up properly. Want to have to take
it apart again. We're going to staple it from the middle with stapled
from the middle and work our way out on every side. So let's begin with
the first one. Just going to fold it
right over the frame and get ready to go. Now we're in business. First staple is n. Since we're working in parallel, I'm gonna do the
exact same thing on the bottom of the canvas
or the top, the sides. Whichever side you begin with, we just want to do the
opposite side of that. But since I already know what
this campus is going to be, this is the top and the bottom. Okay, so I'm gonna
pull it really, really tied as tight as I can. Stable it right in
the middle so that it's directly across
from the other staple. Okay, now I'm gonna do the
same thing to the sides. I'm going to pull this
canvas really tight. You can use pliers
if you have them. Special canvas pliers,
I don't use my hands. So I'm just pulling this
over really, really tight. Stapling it right in the middle. And I'm gonna do the exact
same thing to the other side. Make sure to pull
it really tight. You can see right in the
middle it's starting to pull out that that
crease a little bit. Alright, now we have four stables were
officially in business. Now we're going to repeat this on the first side by working, working our way out. I like to put two fingers
in-between each staple, sometimes three, but this one, I'm gonna do about two. And staple. It's about two fingers. Do the exact same thing
to the other side. Remember to pull it. Musee pulled as tightly as
you can without ripping it, but I don't think
you'll ever a bit I haven't received one yet. It's the same thing. Sorry for my head. Really got into that
one and stapled. Okay, now we're gonna
do the same thing to the top or the bottom. Pulling it super, super tight. Two fingers width. And staple. Of course we're gonna
do the exact same thing right here to the other side. Hands are going to get
a little bit tired. Very strong. Let's do the same
thing to the sides. Still pulling it very tightly. Putting in my next staple. Do the same thing
over to the left. Always make sure that
you're pulling up and you can see that
it's pulling that, that crease out as we go. Alright, great. We're gonna do the same
thing to the final side. Keep pulling it
really, really tight. Two finger widths
apart and staple. Do the same thing to this side. Pull it super tight. I really have to put
my weight into this sometimes getting in the way. Now I want to show
you something. If we flip it over, you can see there's
these creases. It looks like a
diamond on every side. That means we're
pulling this properly. We're pulling it outwards. So as long as those creases are to the side as we're
working our way out. That means we're
doing a good job. The middle is what's
tight and flat, so we're doing great and
we're just going to continue. But that's a good thing to check to make sure that it's all even and that you'd have that
shape on all four sides. I'm going to start at
the first side again, scoot over two finger
widths and put in a staple. Same thing to the other side, just repeating the process
all the way around the frame. You kinda like get into a
groove once you're doing it, you know, it's kind
of therapeutic. I actually really
enjoy this process. I love mounting my own Canvas,
especially this canvas. I made this as a gift. So this was a special
painting for somebody. I really love having
these kind of personal touches to paintings. Excuse my head. Just means I'm really into it. Now let's flip it
over to the side. Keep pulling it
really, really tight. Is tight as you can. Even if your fingers are tired, you can take a break
if you need to. Keep going. Awesome. Let's flip it
back over and check. You see now the diamond shape
is a little bit smaller. It's gone further out
towards the corners. And the middle of
it looks great. You can hardly see
those creases at all. We've got all the staples
on all four sides. And next we are going to
work on these corners. All four sides. All right, Let's get ready.
10. How to fold excess fabric and staple the corners: All right, Now the corners can be a little bit tricky
because now we've got this extra canvas hanging off and we can't just
lay it flat like that. It doesn't look nice. And we don't want it hanging
off the side because then you'll see it and we
don't want to cut it either. So we are going to fold it and roll it to where
it's nicely aligned. C, If we don't do it properly, it's going to hang off the
side and we don't like that. So what I'm gonna do is
I'm going to show you how to kind of tuck
this under properly so that it lays flat and
aligns with the frame. So I'm just going to roll it
a little bit with my thumb. Then I'm going to
roll it between my fingers and kind of tuck
the canvas underneath. You see, I'm just rolling
it with my fingers, tucking it underneath
so that it's going to the edge of it is going to
line up with the frame. Okay. I'm holding it
with my thumb from rolling it with
my other fingers. And I'm going to get
it down as flat as possible while lining up with the edge of the
frame like this. Once I've got that,
I'm going to lay it and hold it so I don't lose it. Once I'm back here, I
can roll it a little bit more to make it a little
flatter if I can. That's why it's good to not
use too much Canvas because it's a little bit harder
to work on the back of it. Give it one nice
staple and then I can keep working on the
rest of this corner. I'm just going to
give it one stable on one side to finish
off that side. And do the same thing over here. I'm pulling it a little tight, making sure it's all nice and aligned and give
it a nice staple. I still kept with
the two finger rule, which means it's going
to need one more. That corner looks done. Let's flip it over
and check it out. Now you can see
that diamond shape where we've pulled it pretty
tight now that's gone. So that means we've
done it properly. You can still see
just a little bit of this seam of that crease there. But don't worry, that's
going to go away as soon as we paint it with our gesso. All right, We're gonna
do the same thing with our next corner. I'm just going to start rolling this canvas up, down the side. See how much fabric
I've got here. I want to make sure that
thoughts as aligned as possible. I'm just rolling it
with my fingers. Kind of get that underneath. You got to play with
it a little bit. Make sure that it's always
aligned with the shy. You don't want the
Canvas sticking out. So you've got to roll, you've
got to hold it tightly to. And now you can see
I've got it aligned with the edge of
the frame there. That's really nice. I'm going to lay it flat. Work on that little extra piece. They're just kinda
tuck it under. Make sure it's nice and
flat and staple it down. I'm going to pull this tightly here on this side
and give it one last staple. There we go. Do the same thing to this side and make sure it's super tight. One did staple and probably
going to need one more. So I'm just going to
pull it a little bit tighter and makes sure
that it's nice and secure. There we go. Let's check it. Beautiful. Now both
of those sides and corners are nice
and tight and you can see the two that
we have less still have a little bit of that
diamond shape on the side. Let's work those out. Corner number three,
doing the same thing. I'm just going to use my
thumb to hold that canvas. Roll the excess canvas
underneath with my other hand, I'm pulling very tightly. There's no extra canvas
hanging off the corner there, making sure that it's
aligned with the frame. What does play with
it a little bit. Sometimes it takes a
little bit of work, makes you work for it. Once I've got it nice,
where I want it, give it a nice stable. Pull that last little edge, give it a good stable there. Same thing here. Pull it a little bit tighter, staple it down, and then
I'm gonna do the same. I'm just going to repeat
that extra stable there. I like that. It's making it extra secure, nice and straight. There it is. Let's check it. Beautiful. And it's still working
those creases out. You see every corner that we get now it's working it out
just a little bit more. And now it's looking
so flat and beautiful. All right, let's do
this last corner. Let me just work
it out. Air we go. That's the way sometimes
you'll you can tell which direction it wants to go and if it's going
to work or not. So they display a little bit, I'm just going to roll
it with my thumb here. And then I'm also rolling the excess canvas underneath
with my other hand. Also pulling it
super tight and just making sure that that edge
lines up with the Canvas. But I want it nice and flat. Throw out anything
bunched up there. So you really got to like get
in there and tuck it down. There we go.
Persistence pays off. We're getting this final corner and give the good staple. So I can work out these
last couple of edges. Pull it really tight. One
last stable on the side. We're in the homestretch now. It gets a little bit harder
to pull a Canvas when you're right at the
end. Here we go. One last stretch and one last staple. Awesome. Now here we are. We have successfully stapled
in our brand new canvas. How do you like that? It's beautiful and flat
and ready to prime.
11. How to paint the first layer of gesso onto the canvas: Well now we're finally
ready to prime our canvas. So now I've taken my
beautiful table cover and I've replaced it with my tapestry that I don't
mind getting paint on. And I'm going to
take my Gesso here, which is what I love to use for my Canvas before
I paint it with acrylics. And this is what
keeps the canvas. It keeps the acrylics from
soaking into the canvas. So it's, it's white
acrylic paint, but it's not quite
acrylic paint and it's just a different
kind of medium. And what we're gonna do is
paint it all the way across, left to right, left to
right, top to bottom. Then we're gonna come back
and paint it the other way, the other direction, while
also getting all of the sides. I'm just using my
irregular paintbrush. There's no water on it. I've done nothing
else to the canvas. I'm just going to dip
it in and I'm going to start painting it
very generously. It's not going to hurt the canvas if you get
a little bit too much. So don't worry about that. You just want to
make sure that you cover all of the canvas. That's very important. You want it all to
be very even so that your acrylic paint will
stay on the top of the canvas instead
of soaking through. That is not fun. I'm just going to get
the top a little bit. I want to make sure that
I get that part Niacin. Nice and primed as well. Always keep going in
the same direction. That's going to ensure that
we really cover this canvas. We're going to start
this direction first and then we'll do it the other direction
for our second coat. For the first coat, Let's just go left to
right, left to right. The good thing is
the canvas is kind of an off white color, so you can tell pretty easily where you're painting
over it with your gesso. Was a side note. Does anybody call it just TO I've heard it
called Jesu before. You'll have to let me know if
you call it something else. It's like GIF and JIF. People say at different ways and they swear their way as right. And then do we really know? Like I mentioned, you
want to be really generous with the gesso. Gesso. You don't want to
have a really light layer. You really want to
cover this really well. It's another really therapeutic
part of the process. You really can kind
of get lost in it. Just enjoy moving the
paintbrush across the Canvas. You don't have to think
too much because you're not doing a design. You're just letting it
flows side-to-side. Listening to your paintbrush, go over the canvas. It's so nice. I like to listen to the birds. Sometimes my cats are my kids. I'm just making sure that I'm covering this
really, really well. I also really enjoy this
paintbrush for this process, it's not too big, not too small. I don't like when. I mean, if I use a really
small paintbrush course, it would take a
really long time. If I use a big one, then it feels like some
of it gets a little bit drier before I've been
able to spread it out. So this size paintbrush
works really well for me, for this size canvas. Now if I have a bigger Canvas, I would actually pour
some of this out onto or maybe a paper plate or
one of my plastic plates. I would use a little
bit bigger of a paintbrush because
the bigger one won't actually fit inside. So I've done that for
a bigger canvases. For this one, this is perfect. I've got a fan running at
the same time so that it dries fast enough but not too fast that I
can't work with it. And also I don't want to
wait for hours for it to dry so that I can
get my second codon. Just about finished here. You can already tell
that up at the top it's getting dry,
so that's good. Means I won't have to
wait too long before I paint my second code. Probably weighed
about half an hour or so, maybe 20 minutes. Alright, now we want
to get the bottom of this tops and bottoms insides. See how beautiful our
corners are there. So nice and flat and proper. No problems there at all. We want to make sure if
you've got some extra kinda hanging off there on the side
that you just blend it in. Really nice. You don't want to
have like a blob of gesso sticking
off the edge there. And get this other
beautiful corner, love it. And even out the bottom there. We're going to do the
same thing to the side. Blend it in really nicely. Another beautiful corner
there, it looks great. Let's flip it and dip it. And painted beautiful corner. Really love when the
corners turned out nice. It's just like
just makes it feel like the process went
really beautifully. It all worked at all. It's so beautiful. The final side, blend those
edges and really well. Alright, with the
last corner there, make sure that it's
all done nice and let's make sure the edges
are nice and primed. Let's check it out. That is beautiful and you
can't see the creases at all. You see all looks
really beautiful. We're just going to
let this dry for a little bit and then
we're gonna come back and paint it
the other direction.
12. How to paint the second layer of gesso onto the canvas: All right, Now we're
going to paint our second layer of gesso. Now I put my paint brush and some water so that
it didn't dry. So I'm just drying it
off with my towel here. I'm going to flip the
canvas so that now instead of painting it
from top to bottom, I'm going to paint
it side-to-side so that I can make sure the gesso is evenly distributed all the
way across the canvas. I want to make sure
that it's dry. And we're just going to continue the exact same process
that we did before. Painting side-to-side,
top-to-bottom. But this part isn't gonna take
as long either because now it's already been
primed for one layer, so it's not going to take as
much gesso for this part. It's going to go on a little bit easier and a little bit faster. It's not going to soak
in so much in need. So much of the product going on very nicely. Really love it. I love how
this project has turned out. We started with an old
frame and an old Erebus, and it's just been
sitting in my art room for probably three
or four years. It was just something
that I was playing with and I never wanted to paint over the canvas because you could see the design and
the lines underneath. So just been sitting and waiting for me to
do something with. And when I found out
about this project, this is actually being painted
as a gift for someone. It's a commissioned
painting that someone is giving us a gift. I really wanted to give
it the special treatment where I mounted it in myself. And we went through
this whole process. And so I've really,
really enjoyed it. Now we have something brand new. Take the materials
that we already have and put them together and
create something super cool. You see this is going
on so much faster. Actually, once this is ready to, once this is dry, this is gonna be ready for you to paint. So for me I waited 20 minutes before I
painted the second layer. Then I probably waited about an hour before I
came back and painted it. I put the canvas
underneath a fan, made sure it was
really good and dry. Then I spent the rest of
the afternoon painting it. This is a relatively
quick project actually. Once you get it together, you can paint it the same day. No need to wait
until the next day. Alright, so now the
friend is done. Leodes work up and down the sides just like we
did in the last step. But it's gonna go a lot faster. Make sure you get those edges. You don't want any of the
products hanging off of it. It looks kind of bulky, so just even out your edges. There we go. Finishing
up the third side. Let's flip it one final time. There we go. Double-check
those edges. And now look at that. We have finished
priming our Canvas. Congratulations,
It looks fabulous.
