DIY canvas: tips for making. Technology of stretching canvas on a stretcher How to stretch canvas on a large stretcher

Methods for stretching canvas on a stretcher

Stretching canvas on a stretcher – from 1 hour no extra charge for urgency. Stretching of paintings or canvas onto a stretcher of any non-standard size occurs during the day. From 20x30 cm to 150 x 200 cm and more. If there are a lot of canvases, the production time is by agreement.

We stretch large-sized canvases onto a pine stretcher with jumpers inside the stretcher, or even with a lattice of jumpers, so that the stretcher does not tighten over time due to strong stretching.

We can frame the stretched canvas in a baguette frame in 1 hour. There are 250 options of wooden and plastic moldings for urgent frame production. And 3000 samples of baguette to order.

For gallery-stretched canvases from 80 x 120 cm or more, we recommend stretching on a stretcher depth 3.5 cm (Eurosubframe).

Advantages of using a thick 35 mm stretcher for stretching large canvases:

Firstly, the likelihood that the subframe will “drive” is reduced. Even the highest quality wooden subframe can change its geometry due to strong changes in humidity, which is not uncommon in St. Petersburg. A canvas stretched on a 35 mm thick stretcher is guaranteed to adhere tightly to the wall, without bending when there is a strong change in humidity.

Secondly, large-sized canvases with gallery stretching from 80x120 cm look more harmonious with a thick stretcher.

Re-upholstering of antique canvases and paintings on a new stretcher.

Re-upholstering old paintings and canvases onto a new stretcher is a very complex process that can only be entrusted to a very experienced framer. As a rule, the need for reupholstery arises when the canvas has completely sagged, or the old stretcher has become warped, or the stretcher has become dilapidated.

Our master framer carefully removes the fasteners of the old canvas to the stretcher, usually these are nails. Next, after the canvas is removed from the old stretcher, the master makes a new stretcher on which the antique canvas will be stretched. And here, when stretching a canvas, especially a dilapidated one, the experience of the master is more important than ever. It is necessary to stretch the canvas as tightly as possible, while being able to feel the limit, and not cause damage to the canvas. Particularly difficult cases are when the canvas is dilapidated and there are practically no fields for stretching. But our experienced specialists, having 8-15 years of experience in canvas stretching, can handle any task.

Gallery stretched canvas on a stretcher.

Gallery stretching is a method of decorating a canvas without a frame, in which the canvas is stretched onto a stretcher so that the image on the canvas continues to the sides of the stretcher itself. In gallery stretching, the canvas is carefully wrapped in the corners and secured to the back of the stretcher.

The advantage of gallery-stretched canvas is that you don’t have to think about which framing frame to frame the canvas. In addition, if you are decorating a canvas for a gift, then the person to whom you are giving the canvas can subsequently choose a suitable framing frame for the already stretched canvas, in accordance with their taste.

Stretching modular paintings onto a stretcher.

If you have ordered canvases for a modular painting from China online, and you are holding a bundle of canvases in your hands, not knowing what to do with it, contact us. Within one day, we will stretch your modular painting with gallery stretch onto a stretcher. Or order from your photo from us.

Characteristics of our wooden subframe:

– solid pine
– humidity 8+-2%
– knotless, spliced onto a mini-tenon, does not deform over time
– Extra grade
– consistent geometry.

Sometimes an inexperienced beginner asks: why make a canvas with your own hands, because in art stores you can buy canvases of different types and sizes. That's how it is! But there are situations when making canvases with your own hands is simply necessary!

For example, you have I have a great idea for an urban landscape with an evening city, but the store does not have this 50/100 cm canvas format. But for painting you need a canvas of a unique shape, which does not exist in stores. Or you are planning to paint a modular painting on several canvases, but there is simply no way to select them ready-made.

The idea of a painting on a custom canvas

And besides this, ART stores sell primed canvases in rolls, so why not make your own painting directly from scratch in the format you need? Read more about how to choose a canvas in the article, where I described everything in detail.

The main difficulty of the work awaits at the first stage of the required subframe format. Make your own subframe without special skills and tools are unlikely to work. Therefore, here you need to decide which is better:

buy a ready-made subframe
order production from a specialist, usually a carpenter
purchase prepared modules (slats) to assemble the subframe yourself.

By the way, stretchers are usually made from well-dried pine wood, but there are brave artists who make stretchers from plastic! Pictures on such a stretcher do not deform even after many years!

Now I want to note that canvases purchased in art stores already glued and primed, even those sold in rolls. So after pulling it onto the stretcher, you can start working.

Important: all stretchers for painting must be movable, that is, the slats should not be glued together. As a rule, they are sold with 8 blades, which are inserted from the back and, if necessary, can move the slats apart by a few millimeters.

How to make a canvas with your own hands

Until recently, canvas was secured to a stretcher using nails, but now everything has been simplified thanks to such a thing as a stapler! An excellent thing for fastening, quickly and without unnecessary damage to the fabric from nails.

To make a subframe we will need: a suitable stretcher, primed canvas, hammer, stapler, scissors, tape measure or ruler. And of course, self-confidence!

Stapler for attaching canvas to a stretcher

So, step by step progress of work:

First you need to determine the dimensions of the canvas using the stretcher. It is necessary to cut the canvas with a margin of 5-6 cm on each side, so that the edges of the canvas are well wrapped on the back side of the stretcher.

Place the canvas on the table, place the stretcher on top so so that the threads of the fabric are parallel to the stretcher bars. This is very important so that the finished canvas does not deform in the future.

Important: The stretcher must be placed on the canvas correctly so as not to accidentally mix up the sides. The sides on the stretcher are not the same, we place it with the sawn side inward. To make it aesthetically beautiful and avoid the canvas touching the stretcher, such slats are needed. The photo below shows that the stretcher slats do not fit tightly to the fabric. That's how it should be...

Example of canvas stretching

Let me draw your attention to the fact that stretching primed canvas onto a stretcher is more difficult, since the fabric no longer stretches as much under a layer of glue and primer. Therefore, some artists slightly wet the canvas on the reverse side to make it more elastic and pliable. Don’t worry, after drying everything will return to its place and the fabric will stretch even tighter! In this case, It is advisable to make an additional layer of soil, since micro-tears in the soil may occur when wetted.

By the way, it is believed that it is impossible to wet the canvas from the back side, I beg to differ with this... Light moistening will not hurt, unless, of course, you soak it so much that water flows from it

Fold the edges of the fabric and secure them with a stapler. Work with the long side first, starting from the middle of the subframe bar. Mark the fastening with 3-4 staples and turn the canvas 180 degrees. Pin the fabric on the opposite side. Make sure that the distance between the staples is no more than 2-3 cm.

Now secure the canvas to the short stretcher bars. Stretch the canvas well and secure it with a stapler step by step. Work on the corners of the canvas last. This is the most critical part of the work, and the appearance of the future painting will depend on it. Gently stretch the fabric, tuck it in and secure with staples.

Important: you need to stretch the canvas more tightly from the center

Examine the result obtained, tap the staples with a hammer, and add more fasteners if necessary. Turn the canvas face up and check the quality of the work.

What to pay attention to:

the tension density should be uniform
Bends and creases of the fabric are unacceptable
When you tap with your fingers, you should feel the surface of the drum.

If the canvas is stretched weakly, there are sagging or other flaws, don’t worry, all the amendments are in our hands! We stock up on patience, remove the staples and redo the work where there is a need for it. Every artist knows that the weight of paint puts a colossal load on the canvas. This means it will stretch even more.

On a note: If you have to make a large canvas for painting, then it’s difficult to do without special pliers (tongs for stretching the canvas). They can be purchased at art stores.

Canvas stretching tongs

If you want to stretch the canvas not yet primed, then it’s better to do as shown in the photo below. First we stretch and secure the center of all four sides in a cross pattern, gradually stretching the canvas trying to keep the lines of the fabric parallel. To avoid overstretching the fabric, use the same tension force.

Don't forget that fabric stretches, and if you tighten it in one place, it may sag in another... At least this applies to large canvases if you stretch it alone. I had to do this... If something still goes wrong, I advise you to re-stretch the canvas before you continue making the canvas.

Picture with an example of canvas stretching

The photo shows an example using nails for fastening to the side of the subframe. You can find these in the store, this is exactly how they were made before. The main thing is to remember that the tension is uniform and the fabric threads ran parallel to the stretcher bars

Sizing

Now we’ll talk about if you initially bought regular fabric, that is, cotton, synthetic or linen. The information will be of interest to those who do not have the opportunity to buy ready-made canvases, as well as to those who wants to go through all the stages and make the canvas completely themselves!

Painting a picture on unprepared material is difficult, and most importantly, not practical, because the paints will be absorbed through the holes in the weave of the threads. In addition, paints on unprimed canvas are prone to cracking and falling off over time.

Therefore, the next stage is gluing it!

Why glue the canvas? Firstly, sizing makes the fabric base stable, secondly, it protects the canvas from the binder of paint and primer passing onto its back side, and thirdly, it “clogs” the pores in the fabric, preventing paint from seeping inside

In addition, after applying the sizing, the canvas acquires an elastic, durable film. The primer is better applied to the sized canvas; sizing prevents oil from being drawn out from the paints. This means it increases the durability of the painting and prevents the paint from fading. Do you know that More than one painted canvas has suffered from improper sizing and priming!

You can buy sizing or make it yourself.
The sizing in the artist store is a paste made from natural resins and glue, dissolved in water. As a rule, store-bought ready-made sizing contains special substances that prevent the appearance of mold and mildew on the canvas. This is also very relevant, because over the years the fabric may suffer from mold, if, for example, there is high humidity in the room.

Working with her is easy and simple. To apply the sizing to the canvas, you will need a wide brush or spatula, a table or other horizontal surface. Using a spatula or brush, apply a thin layer of paste without pressing it through the fabric. Dry for 3-6 hours. If necessary, repeat another layer. In any case, it says on the jar how many times to apply the sizing.

Ready-made sizing for canvas

Remember how artists used to glue canvas without special tools! To glue the canvas, many artists made their own wood glue or fish (sturgeon) and casein glue. A very labor-intensive and lengthy process! Moreover, such glue was applied only once and in a thin, even layer. If the canvas is re-glued with samovar glue, it becomes rigid, and cracks may even appear with subsequent stress on the canvas.

Today, many artists use edible gelatin for sizing. To do this, pour water over the gelatin packet until it is completely covered, stir and leave for a couple of hours. After the gelatin swells, pour boiling water in the same proportion.

Apply with a spatula, so it turns out evenly. Let it dry for a day and do a second sizing. Poorly glued canvas has holes (not glued pores of the fabric). Therefore, to determine the quality of the sizing, look at the canvas against the light; if it shows through, glue it again.

Gluing canvas with gelatin

Semi-liquid PVA glue is also used for sizing canvases, although the reviews about such sizing are far from positive. I know that PVA sizing is used for cardboard. Many artists consider the best glue to be made from sturgeon, that is, fish, so I believe that gelatin is the best alternative, as it is a natural glue product made from animal connective tissues!

In France, where I have lived for the last 17 years, they use rabbit glue made from rabbit skin to glue canvas. I think that each country has its own preferences for the adhesive composition, the main thing is that it is natural! If you are interested in painting, then you will be interested in an article with a charming charm! After all, getting to know painting begins not only with canvases, paints and brushes, but also with the wonderful creative world of artists!

I note that there are artists who don’t do sizing at all, and slowly tighten the pores and holes only with soil. Whether this is correct or not, only the life of the painting will tell. By the way, what brings a painting into a deplorable state, and how can it be restored?

How to prime a canvas

Why do you need primer on canvas? This is important an intermediate layer, a “strong conductor” between the base and the painting so that it can adhere firmly to the canvas. It also helps create the necessary texture and color tone. You can buy ready-made primer, just like sizing, or make it yourself.

The canvas primer can be adhesive, emulsion, acrylic, oil, semi-oil, synthetic. Those canvases that are on sale are coated with emulsion acrylic primer. For example, on our canvas they write: « The canvas is coated with Gesso acrylic primer 4 times" in French

Therefore, the best choice is an acrylic, emulsion primer for canvas. It is universal, great for painting with oil, acrylic and gouache paints.

Acrylic primer for canvas

Although there are artists who criticize such a primer and believe that it is not suitable for oil painting. I will say that these are the only ones we sell... Sometimes I myself make an additional semi-oil primer on top of the acrylic one. There are many primer options, and Each master prefers his own recipes and secrets in this matter.

The primer itself consists of two or three stages, so you shouldn’t force things and try to prime the canvas in one go!

For the primer, you can use acrylic paint for construction work and make the primer yourself (see recipe below) or buy ready-made primer at an art store. For the first layer, dilute the paint a little with water. to the consistency of very liquid sour cream. Sometimes it is recommended to add a little sizing, which was mentioned earlier, to the first primer. This increases the adhesion of the soil to the canvas.

So, apply the primer to the canvas using wide strokes using a flute or a wide brush. Try not to pass the brush several times over one place and not to make sagging marks. To make the primer super even, you can use construction wide spatulas or a mini roller; this is quick and uses less soil.

Uniformly priming the canvas with a roller

After the first layer of primer has dried, apply a second one. Dry and inspect the canvas. Drying time is 12-14 hours depending on the humidity of your room.

On a note: Make sure there are no drafts during drying! According to the observations of many artists, this does not have a favorable effect on the canvas.

If you are satisfied with the texture of the canvas and its background, then you can complete the work. If necessary, make several more layers of soil.

Well, if you decide to make the primer yourself, then here is a great recipe for good adhesion, that is, adhesion of paint to soil

200 grams of construction emulsion
1 yolk
2 tsp glycerin, that is, 10 g as a plasticizer
½ packet of gelatin, pre-soaked and diluted
5 tsp linseed oil, which will make the soil more elastic
1 tsp semi-liquid honey as a natural antiseptic

That's all! The canvas is ready for painting! Paint your colorful paintings and be filled with the energy of color, because, as you know, it works real miracles! About all the beauty of color therapy

Conclusion: as you can see, you can assemble a canvas with your own hands in different ways, you can look at things conservatively and correctly, or you can approach things creatively, not in a stereotyped way…. The main thing is that the canvas turns out aesthetically correct and the result of your work pleases you for a long time with the brightness of the colors!

One of the activities of the workshop is stretching canvases, tapestries, etc. on a stretcher.

Few people know that stretching canvas on a stretcher is a responsible, labor-intensive and rather complex process. This requires maximum accuracy and attentiveness. Movements must be jewelry-precise to avoid possible damage to the image or canvas. Without special tools and appropriate experience, it is almost impossible to perform such work.

The design of the artwork determines the final appearance of the painting, so it is better to entrust this matter to professionals. The qualifications and experience of the Baguette Art Workshop specialists will allow us to solve any, even the most complex, issues of shaping the external appearance of a unique product.

There are 2 types of canvas stretching: gallery and simple

The simple stretch option involves attaching the canvas to the outer sides of the subframe using a stapler. This method is the simplest and most economical.Due to the fact that the fastening staples at the ends of the frame are visible, it is planned to further frame the picture in a baguette.

Gallery design involves wrapping the canvas to the back of the stretcher.The mounting brackets are on the reverse side and become invisible. This method allows the painting to exist independently, without being framed. The canvas stretched over the frame is ready for display. The image harmoniously transfers to the end of the stretcher, the overall appearance of the picture becomes three-dimensional and complete.

For example: the cost of making a stretcher and simple stretching of a canvas measuring 50x50 (cm) is 800 rubles, and a gallery cost is 1000 rubles. Flexible terms and discounts are available for wholesale customers.

Rolling onto foam board

Our framing workshop provides services for rolling photographs, posters, maps, banners, posters and other printed products onto foam board.This happens as follows:

“poster” or other professional glue is applied to the foam board, cut to the appropriate size, after which the master rolls out the image with a special roller to remove air and level the base. After securing the poster to the foam board, the image is ready for further framing.

Experienced craftsmen will carefully and efficiently complete your work in the shortest possible time. And professional designers will help you choose a design. By the way, All work performed in our workshop comes with a lifetime guarantee!

Before you begin painting, you will need to stretch the canvas so that the paint lays flat on it. If you're an artist, learning how to stretch your own canvas can help you save money and do something useful. From this article you will learn how to choose the right everything you need, how to stretch the canvas and how to prepare it for work.

Steps

Preparation

Buy a stretcher or make one yourself. There are special stretchers with ready-made slats that clamp the canvas. This is the fastest and easiest way. Most artists use stretchers.

Buy a canvas of the appropriate size. The canvas should extend beyond the stretcher by at least 15-20 centimeters (it all depends on the width of the frame). The canvas must be larger than the stretcher, otherwise it will be impossible to stretch it correctly. Measure the dimensions of the stretcher or estimate what size painting you need, and buy a slightly larger canvas.

It is much easier to stretch untreated canvas (not coated with gesso) than prepared canvas. It's best to buy unprimed canvas and gesso it later.

Buy other necessary tools. You will need a few simple tools for this job. Prepare the following:
- Spray bottle with clean water. You should wet the back of the canvas that you stretch onto the stretcher. As it dries, it will shrink and tighten more.
- Gesso. This primer is often used to treat the canvas after it has been stretched. Gesso is a white mixture of plaster, chalk and other substances that is sold at many art supply stores.
- Special tongs for stretching canvas. They can be bought in almost all specialized stores. These tongs have a flat surface that allows you to stretch the canvas without leaving holes in it.
- Stapler. Regular staplers are not suitable for these purposes. To securely fasten the canvas, you will need a special furniture stapler.
Cut the canvas. Cut an area 8-10 centimeters larger than the frame, taking into account the width of the frame. You will need these extra pieces of canvas to hold onto as you pull the canvas. Having purchased all the necessary tools, a stretcher and canvas, cut the canvas to the desired size using a special sharp knife.
- If you tear the canvas, you will get a straighter line than if you cut it. Cut the canvas with a knife, and then tear it along the grain - you will get an even area.
How to stretch canvas
1. Place the frame in the center of the canvas. Place the canvas on your work surface and place the frame on top. Try to smooth the canvas as much as possible.
  - The fibers of the canvas should be parallel and perpendicular to the crossbars of the frame. If they lie at an angle, the frame will become deformed and the edges will begin to bend upward.
2. First, stretch the canvas along the long side. Take the long side that lies closest to you and tuck it inward. Using three staples, secure the canvas to the frame from the inside (that is, you need to wrap the frame with canvas and secure it from the inside). There is no need to secure the edges of the canvas yet - you will do this later.
  - Turn the canvas with the stretcher or go around the other side of the work surface and do the same with the other side. Stretch the canvas tightly, wrap it around the frame, and secure with three staples.
  - You need to secure the canvas from the middle to the edges. Don't start at the edges because otherwise the canvas will warp and sag.
3. If necessary, lightly wet the canvas. If you are stretching untreated canvas, you can spray it with water to help it stretch more tightly once it dries. After securing the long sides of the canvas, lightly dampen the back of the canvas.
  
  Pull the short sides taut. Grab the loose side, pull the canvas tightly, tuck it under the frame, and secure it with two staples to the frame. Do the same with the second side.
  
  Pull the edges tight. Go back to the first side where you started stretching the canvas and secure the edges. Pull the loose section of the canvas towards you, stretch it and clamp it with a staple. Work slowly, trying to pull a small piece at a time. Continue securing the edges, gradually moving from one section to another.
  - You can insert staples near the corners, and then between the center and the corner. Continue working until you have about 10 centimeters of loose canvas left from the corners.
4. Fold and secure the corners. Fold one corner and pull it tightly so that there are no waves anywhere. Hold the canvas firmly. This is the final touch, and it is the most important. Everything must be done so that the canvas is even and tightly stretched.
  - Sometimes it is useful to make a small cut diagonally so that the canvas stretches better and lies neatly at the corners. The corners should look even, so trim the canvas if necessary.
5. Finish your work. Go over all the staples with a hammer until they fit snugly against the frame. There should be no sharp protruding edges anywhere. If you feel like you need to add a few more staples, do so.

Stretching canvas on a stretcher requires special skills and experience. It can be of two types: modular (wedge or prefabricated) and blind. A wide range of modules are sold in artist shops. They consist of two slats, the length of which is 5 cm. But at the same time, their cost is slightly higher than that of deaf ones. The modules have a peculiarity: the corners are not rigidly fixed, and if the canvas sag, the defect can be easily eliminated independently by wedging. The main thing is to do this carefully, trying not to damage the painting with a hammer or deform it, distorting the image. We recommend that you order from our specialists at an affordable price and in a short time.

Preservation of the art object and subframe

Stretching the canvas onto a frame, if done incorrectly, will negatively affect the safety of the piece of art. However, not everyone pays due attention to this point. A defective stretcher will not allow the canvas to fully stretch, which will lead to cracks in the ground and pictorial layers of the image.

What you encounter when buying a low-quality subframe:

Corners that are tightly fastened do not allow tension adjustment, and as a result, deforming sagging of the canvas.
Plywood triangles can be nailed to blind corners, which will make the subframe inconvenient to use.
Pictures of impressive scale must be stretched using a cross. This will prevent the subframe from warping and bending corners.
If there are no bevels on the back side of the stretcher, the canvas will begin to break, and layers of paint may crumble.
Stretching the canvas onto a stretcher is a technologically labor-intensive process, so it is better to use a design with rounded points in contact with the painting. They are located on the front of the subframes.
Unstable subframes become warped when tensioned.
A weak connection of the corner strips leads to deformation of the canvas, creases and shedding of layers of paint. There is no way to fully connect the canvas and frame.

Sometimes you can find manufacturing defects in stores. These are subframes assembled from damp wood or with knots. Because of this, the foundation will definitely weaken and will have to be changed. And sometimes together with a deformed frame. But the biggest problem is the infestation of the subframe with colonies of the borer beetle. Thanks to it, the wood crumbles and becomes dust. Mold, which can lead to the same result, cannot be ruled out.

How is canvas stretched onto stretchers?

To perform all the steps correctly, you will need a production stapler, an auxiliary tool for stretching woven materials, a hammer and a measuring tape. Do not pull the canvas clean of primer too much, since it will still sag under the weight of the coating. Therefore, after the paint layer has dried, be sure to tamp down the wedges. Blind stretchers involve the use of exclusively primed canvas, and are stretched to the state of a ringing membrane.

Methods for stretching canvases on a stretcher:

For modular ones: diagonals are measured, they must be identical. The corners are secured with staples (one staple per corner on each side). The image is positioned clearly horizontally. The canvas without primer is laid so that the weft threads run parallel to the edges of the stretcher. The canvas is attached on all sides. The bracket is placed in increments of 3 cm on each side of the perimeter; you need to move from the edges to the central part.

The fabric needs to be tucked in at the corners and secured with staples. It is strictly forbidden to wet the canvas on the side where there is no primer, as this will lead to delamination of the primer. After all the manipulations, remove the staples that secured the subframe at the corners. Excess parts of the canvas are carefully folded and secured. 2 wooden wedges are inserted into the grooves, they are carefully tapped.

Stretching the canvas onto a blind stretcher. If there is no choice, then, as in the first option, the diagonals are measured first. Trim the canvas and secure it with staples on 4 sides. Attach the canvas in 3 cm increments around the entire perimeter, moving from the central part to the edges.

All other actions are performed in the same sequence as when pulling the picture onto the module, but in this case you won’t have to knock out the wedges, and there’s no need to cut off the excess canvas; it may well come in handy if the picture has to be pulled over.

The corners of the blind stretcher are connected rigidly and if the canvas sag, it will have to be tensioned again. And this process can only be entrusted to a specialist. For medium-sized paintings, a stretcher with slats thickness of 2 cm is suitable; if gallery stretching is necessary, 3 cm.

If a painting is expensive and important, you need to entrust its design to professionals. Attempts to save on their services and do everything yourself often lead to damage to the canvas, after which restoration is required, and this service is much more expensive. For our part, we guarantee careful treatment of objects of art, a loyal pricing policy and high-quality work. If the client wishes, the full range of framing and design services can be provided.
