art tidbits
How the sizing of art works.
For example: 5" x 7" x 3/4" means, the height of the painting is 5 inches. The length is 7 inches and the depth 3/4 inch.
What does Raw canvas mean?
Painting on raw canvas means, that I have not applied gesso. Gesso is a layering protectant for the canvas. So why are there artists creating on raw canvas? The texture is beautiful and allowing the paints to sink in to the canvas gives it a stain like look. First used by Helen Frankenthaler.
What does hand built on hand stretched canvas mean?
It means I got a wild hair lol. I built the stretcher bars that create the frame. I then stretch and staple the canvas myself to the front of those stretch bars aka frame. Creating my own prepared canvas! A fun added step in the process of creating.
What does varnish mean?
I sprayed or painted varnich on top of my art to seal it and protect it from UV lighting. Allowing the work to last for generations. Some raw canvas will not be varnished because of the staining that occurs, creating a textiled look.
