So helpful! I struggle with getting it square every time, and it takes so long to get it right. But now I realize what I was doing wrong: when A is out of square, I shouldn't try to adjust A, I should adjust (tap) the two adjacent corners. Also I only was using an L brace to check it for gaps; now I know to measure the diagonals. The cardboard corners was another great tip: I confess, I was using wood glue - after all that work, I wasn't taking chances. Thank you so much for making this vid!

Thanks for this informative video!

why not cut sum corner material??? 2 thick???

What are the words written on the toy angel? "Peace on Earth"? ☺

Why do you have gloves on?

Incredible!!! I wish there were more painting of feminine elegance and beauty! Beauty needs a witness!

Very well done video, clear,specific instructions with clear video step by step images. Great

Thanks for the clear instructions and precise execution.

Great video ! Captured all details .. but never could comprehend the biker gloves though.

There are so many videos about this technique. Some people are better teachers. Very clear.

Really excellent and helpful. I enjoyed all three videos.

Thank you

thank you

Hello Steve, I stretched my canvas and primer, was excellent the tension, but after paint on it with oil using spatula the canvas lost the tension , and the surface moves like a jelly. could you give me some tip ?... Thanks!.

How did you attach the center brace ? Otherwise you're a great teacher.

Best ever demonstration. Thank you

Excellent !

This IS absolutely the most professional tutorial I have seen yet!!! Thank YOU for sharing this. ;)

Hello. What is the ratio of gelatin to water you use for your size layer?

Hello. I actually don't see the second part of this video (don't know about the third yet). Is there a link for it?

This looks like a horribly flimsy stretcher... Buying premade canvases or stretchers is lazy. Build it yourself, and you'll have a more durable stretcher. F- dude...

Great videos Steve

THANKS STEVE YOUR VIDEOS WHERE EXTREMELY HELPFUL FOR US. JG

Excellent tutorial

I've been sharing all your videos with the Oil Painting "Oily Rag" section of Wet Canvas, and you've done such a great job here. It may seem like very basic information to you, but you might be surprised at how many painters you've helped. Thank you so much, Steve!

thank you for taking the trouble to share your expertise with these great videos! great job!

You are welcome, Eve. I'm glad that the video encourages and gives you inspiration.

Hey, I like this idea!! thanks for sharing.

Deep Gallery Wrap paintings look great on the wall, and eliminate the need for a separate frame. This video is a free tutorial on how to customize your own gallery wrap bars. (If you're not an artist but would like to know more about the structure of this type of painting, it's an interesting watch, if I do say so myself.) th-cam.com/video/sfOoyYo1tsQ/w-d-xo.html #youtube #video #DIY #howto #gallerywrap #stretcherbars #SteveHenderson

So what does the "skeletal structure" of a canvas- or linen-stretched painting look like? Whether you're a DIY artist or a collector who wants to know more about what makes a painting, this video shows the process of creating the stretcher bar frame that forms the support structure of many paintings. th-cam.com/video/HCGr0eIxxpM/w-d-xo.html ‪#‎DIY‬ ‪#‎painting‬ ‪#‎stretcherbars‬ ‪#‎howto‬ ‪#‎instructional‬ ‪#‎video‬ ‪#‎youtube‬

a well done and highly informational video! I'm wondering what you think of painting on paper. My art professor claims that in the past canvas was the better surface but nowadays there are high quality papers that are preferable. What's you take on that?

Looking forward to your instructions on stretching! Will Carolyn announce when the new videos are ready?

Thank you Steve! Very nicely done. I look forward to the more detailed videos on the process of stretching canvas. If they are as clearly presented and well illustrated as this overview, they will be well worth viewing and keeping for future reference. I am not a stranger to stretching prepared canvas, but other than a few not-so-successful attempts I've avoided preparing the stretched canvas myself. This video makes me consider giving it another shot. (PS, I followed Carolyn's link on Fine Art Views to get here. She is far and away my favorite writer on that site.)

Thank you, my friend, for your kind words.

Are you an artist who is tired of buying your canvases, pre-made at the art store? My new video, free on youtube, gives you an overview of the process, with future how-to videos on building your own stretcher bar, stretching the canvas, and sizing and priming the subsurface presently in production. th-cam.com/video/jOxfo4SKBqM/w-d-xo.html #diy #canvas #artist #howto #oilpainting #instruction #youtube #video

Carolyn and Steve, what an inspiration for me through your collaboration of words and art. I am a 'seasoned artist' (to the point of being overcooked with ideas for marketing my work). Your written suggestions and TH-cam video were so inspirational that I am going to try my own TH-cam without knowing or understanding the process at this point. But if it comes together, I will let you know. Also, I will purchase your book since I can tell you understand and know the 'ropes of the swinging pendelum' concerning selling art. Thank you!

What is the name of the music playing in the video?

Steve's paintings are a true work of art and beauty showing the precious aspects of a woman. HIs use of colors is amazing. Lovely work Steve!

Thank you, BriPainter -- these Santa videos are remarkably fun to make.

I love it guys, really well out together!

Just ordered Carolyn's book, " Living Happily on Less."

Wonderful painting! Your time lasped video is just like Christmas magic. Made me happy watching it. Thanks for the two articles on making videos. Cheers!

Thank you, Jill. Have you seen the Christmas videos? There's literal singing there, or at least, Christmas carols.

Lovely artwork! Your colors "sing", & the compositions are dreamy. Thank you. Jill

Thank you, Wendy. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience, and I appreciate your passing the link on to the people in your life who love art, beauty, and a sense of peace.

Thank you, Diane. Dancer, the painting you mention, is a popular one, and it is licensed in various venues. I enjoyed integrating the abstract background with the free brushstroke work of the model. I'm glad you visited and hope that you will be back -- I keep producing videos in between painting, and my next one will feature the Christmas work I am painting now.

Nice use of color and light in these paintings Steve! I really liked the energy of the rather abstracted one towards the end, with the woman in the red dress!
