Artist's Comments

This was written at the request of The Untapped Source Gallery becasue most of my work is printed onto canvas, and I do my own stretching. Eventually it will be published on line, but they have given me permission to place a copy here. Please respect copyright. You may take a copy, and you may of course use it, but please do not repost it.

I thank Cindy Minguez for her help in reviewing it for errors. Many of you will know her work as :iconblueskye27: Blueskye27

Cindy and I have worked together on a number of projects, and I really appreciate her skill and willingness to collaborate.

If you wish to see the tutorial please download the zip file. The uncompressed file is in PDF format.

If you have any ideas for improvement, please send me a note.

If you like the tutorial, please send Cindy a note letting her know too.

Thanks for your support.

Thanks Stephen,

I wrote it at the request of another Gallery. They want it for their members, and i wanted to put a link for others to see it, but it will only be for members, so they gave me permission to post it here too.

Do you do this for your own works?

Honestly, Wayne, you know all I did was proofread. You shouldn't even have my name on here. You did every bit of the work.

You did a wonderful job, as always. :hug:

yes, I learned how to do it many years ago at a gallery, the process I have outlined is a bit different because most people won't have all the fancy tools, but it will work. All one really needs are the canvas pliers.

All of the images in "An Old Ride" are on canvas and I mounted all of them. I made a few mistakes in the process, so a lot of what is said here is hard experience learned over the last year.

I bet that took me all of 10 minutes. And I agree it does look good.

yup....

you get credit too.

You know Cindy, I have written piles of pages in my working life, and I have always found mistakes months after I am finished. When you proof something, I have confidence in how it is done. That means more to me that I can even express. For what ever reason, I find it embarrassing when there are mistakes in my work, in fact, the smaller the fault the more it bugs me. So I really appreciate it.

Well its a great idea to post it here because I would imagine people have wondered but never learned it. Excellent idea my friend!
