If you wanted to roll your canvas with the artwork facing out, my professors in art school always recommended glassine paper over the piece to prevent anything from sticking or getting scratched 😊
I'm a photographer trying to look up the difference between the two options, and I must I say I love the vibe your videos and how freely you're sharing your knowledge! I will definitely be referencing your videos if I ever try my hand at painting!
Hi im also an artist that use large canvas and paint it directly on the wall unstretched, when i first started, the canvas usually get some loose parts after stretched, so before i actually stretch it with the pliers, i spray some water on the back side, leave it for 5 hours or more, and then start stretching.
A few things 1. Super helpful info about canvases 2. I’m a Leo and I’m obsessed with your painting 3.I’m glad I discovered you, you are the coolest and hope you can come exhibit in Europe after all this covid shte is over! Your work is dope!!!
Sorry to be offtopic but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any tips you can give me
@Elian Kaison i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hello A.O. Hamer, you just showed up in my life and I absolutely love your energy. This 30 minute video went through like a breeze because I was learning so much and having so much fun just watching you. You have an amazing, down to earth personality. I Super appreciate all this information and your honest answers. It shows off your fearlessness. It is fresh and helpful and thoughtful of you because usually artists are not exactly rolling in money. Definitely subscribing to your channel. Thank you for doing this.
I know nothing but I'm wanting to try my hand at painting. Yours is the first tutorial that I have found that gets right to it without a bunch of non-related chatter. Thank you for that!
I randomly clicked your video to see what you were talking about, and love it. You are absolutely right... COST! And you're very lucky to get those free canvases, I envy that LOL! @missyelious beat me to it, I too absolutely love your energy and enthusiasm, and I wanted to say I LOVE YOU lol. I used to live in Auburn, WA till I moved to MT almost 20 years ago and I'd have love to meet you. I love your video and art! I'm a beginner as far as painting, both brush and airbrush acrylic, about 5 months in, I used to draw when I was a kid. Yesterday I cut some frame pieces from my job (I get free leftover wood) to make two frames, and was going to put them together at home, but your idea to just staple them on plywood is awesome, so I'm gonna do that instead. I have access to lots of sidings used on wood sheds. Murals, yep, I have 3 finished murals on my home walls and began another one to do later. On one of them, I made a picture frame and stapled it around the painting, which has a clear stencil sheet covering (to look like glass), so it actually looks like a picture hanging on the wall. Just an idea I thought of doing for a mural, I've yet to see anyone do that lol. Anyways, thanks for your video and sharing your love and your answers! Keep on painting, you're doing awesome!
Omg she answered my question 😳 I feel so blessed 🥺 thank you for taking the time to interact with us. I'm obsessed with your work (and you!) Keep it up queen 👑
OMG!!! I know you’ve heard this a million times but you are phenomenal! I’m trapped in my garage for painting and I’m running out of storage this morning I started looking for solutions and found you! Thank you!
Just found your channel by accident. Wonderful that you're able to create and follow your passion. I just picked up the brushes after a 35 year quit. I appreciate your knowledge and effort in producing content that inspires myself and others. Keep it up girl!!!
Greetings from North Carolina! First time seeing your video. You are phenomenal & I love your art. Speaking of Jerry’s, I was at Jerry’s Artarama in Greensboro yesterday and that Jerry’s is WHOLESALE ……Yes! I will have to check their prices on loose canvas. I bought a 30”x40” canvas…my first larger canvas. Your series of “signs”is so beyond beautiful. Thank you for your video. I learned a lot about canvas & I really really appreciate it. Thank you again,
You are very easy to watch and hear. Your smile....delightful. Your art is you, a celebration of life.. Thankyou for your sweet service to us all. May He bless your journey.
Thank u so much for sharing!! Beautiful artwork informative and entertaining 💖 I’ve been wanting too do this for years!! Hopefully this year I’ll have my own studio so I can go big and bigger!!! Thank u again 🙏😁
Wow what a great video, so informative and just awesome. I hope you eventually go all in on oil you will never regret it if you do. Anyways please upload more videos cuz I'm loving them
Love your energy and your paintings. I was quite depressed and unsure about using canvas as I was not getting any clear answers. Your video just helped me in ways more than one. Thanks for sharing.
I started painting two months ago and stapled my first large canvas on a frame today… it came out was warped to begin with and i jumped to YT, found your video.. and that calmed me down hehe,, because after the gesso/water mix all was perfectly stretched out. Thank you❤
OMG I think THE LORD WAS WITH YOU WHENYOU CREATED THAT PAINTING YOU SHOWED IN THE VERY BEGINNING! She is Beautifully Gorgeous and so lovely! I had to rewind and pause to look at it! I am in LOVE WITH CHOCOLATE MILK!
Ha Ha experiment first, read the directions on the can later / I do that too :) :) I love what you are painting! You are very courageous to work that big! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. You have obviously put so much work into figuring this all out. Good luck to you!
This is exactly what I was looking for! I have 100% linen fabric on which I wish to do some painting. So I am going to do the same like you've done here. Thank you :) And don't thrash the torn painting, I'm sure you'll find a way to fix it back together :) It's beautiful!
I recently found your page & must say you are such a breath of fresh air. I am loving your content & truly wish you so much success! Thank you for sharing. 🫶🏿🎨
Hello I'm new to your videos and you have great content thanks from a beginner artist. Just wanted to tell you that you can clean your paint brush rollers by rolling it on painters tape to get the loose fibers out! Hope that help thanks again
May I say that you're adorable? You are. ;-) I love that you left in the oopsie that you did when you poured the gesso out while looking at the camera. I've done that exact same thing! :-D It's wonderful to find someone who can laugh at their own mistakes. Thanks for the giggle.
I was so upset to find out Lumicor isn’t giving out canvases anymore but then you mentioned Jerry’s and I’m from Jersey so I’m very familiar with them. Put a smile on my face lol.
You’re work is so inspiring, and as fellow black female & artist. You have my 1000% support!!! Definitely have been binge watching your videos and the work is just out of this world. Keep thriving sis ♥️🤙🏽
Thank you so much for giving this advice and for the energy and enthusiasm you've put into this video. I want to paint large but live in a small studio flat in London because of the rental prices, plus studio space is expensive too.
Rolling on the outside is standard practice in museums (protect with brown paper). Also, the wider the tube, the less chances of cracking. Last, if you can suspend it (a bar through the tube) rather than have it on the floor or standing, you are golden.
Hi I’m a an artist myself ( drawing and paintings ) , first of all I love your spirit and your energy you are so cool and funny !!! this video was really helpful. I got carried away and watch some more !!!! I wanted to start painting on roll canvas for so long and I had so many question about it !!! And I found your video explaining everything I needed to know. Thank you for all the tips !!! Take care !!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I love making my own canvases (really wish I have a wood saw in my house to build more), so the canvas roll question was super helpful. For my style of canvas art, rolling it up would be a bad idea since I have a "pop-uo" style, so I have to store them up with the canvas, and finding ways to move them about (they aren't huge thankfully) is the main challenge. I'm thinking about having them in their own shipping boxes 🤔
This video was amazingly helpful I didn’t mind if it was longer than the time you allowed it I will be checking out the rest of your videos… As a newcomer to your channel!
Hey so I was watching your video and was blown away when you said you get your canvas for free in Renton. I live on the peninsula an hour or so away! I noticed this video is 3 years old is that still a thing. If I were to drive to Lumicor is the canvas just outside up for grabs or would I have to talk to someone?? Thankyou I love your work btw
love your work. Wow! Looking for inspiration to jump start me back into drawing and painting.Your enthusiasm is so contagious Please don’t stop doing what you do
Omg u were sooo helpful. I just wanna make a big abstract painting for the first time and I am soo clueless and u helped answer all the questions I had. ❤️✨
If you wanted to roll your canvas with the artwork facing out, my professors in art school always recommended glassine paper over the piece to prevent anything from sticking or getting scratched 😊
That's a great tip! Thanks much
I was a random click , I don't even paint, but your energy and enthusiasm kept me for the full duration of the video ❤🎉
Oh wow, that's so sweet!! Glad it enjoyed the vibes, thanks for stopping by 🤗✨️
