I have been doing a serious research to find the best way to offer my prints on canvas. I have been looking for prices, sizes, materials, etc. One day I found a place with really fair prices and I ordered a couple of my designs to see the quality. I was really happy with the print, but the problem was in the stretched frame… I mean the wood wasn’t bad (well… wasn’t perfect either!) The problem was I had to stretch and mount the canvas. And I didn’t have idea how to do that ;S Yes, guilty… I’m an artist and I never stretched a canvas before. Well, I gave those pretty prints a try. Wasn’t difficult, but I wanted the canvas to be super duper perfect! I guess with practice I will “achieve” perfection (yeahhh right)
What you think?
I already posted these canvases on my shop ;)
Happy Thursday!

Looks good to me
Hey! I think you are doing a great job.
It is really difficult to stretch a canvas that is already printed on/primed without tearing it or having it sag.
Your's look great!
They look great to me. I see lots that start to sag, but I don't know why or if it's an "over time" issue. Love how detailed you can get your beautiful art.
Hi there Valentina..
I think you did a great job, particularly as you were stretching a canvas that already had a design on it and could easily have been damaged in the process. I have stretched canvas to paint on and keeping the tension tight is very hard. It's good if you can fold the corners though in a diagonal (fraying). I imgagine they will be snapped up from your shop. Well done, they look gorgeous.
p.s. Hope the thumb is getting better.
