How to Stretch canvas and images, and perhaps avoid framing
No, I do not go into the complexity of the building to get a stretcher frame, angles ring mites and discuss what kind of pliers or automatic stretching and sewing machine, you should use. I would like to talk about himself, from aesthetic point of view and explains the three basic options to stretch the canvas.
Usually there are three different ways to stretch the canvas. These methods will be transferred to a print on canvas, a canvas or aOil on canvas original.
The first is "Standard Wrap" method. Here the canvas is 100% of the images are fixed on the front. None of the pictures on the sides, and brackets indicate the pages. This method requires at least that "frame me". Otherwise, the clips ugly, and perhaps even the jagged edges of the screen displays the pages.
The second method is the "Museum Wrapped". In a "Museum Wrap" 100% imageappeared on the cover with the image that goes by the edges, and the blank white canvas displayed in the pages.
In this method does not brackets on the back. The sides are then treated the information about the owner. In many cases the sides are painted black. In others, their faces painted a certain color, colors in a work of art itself is free. This should lengthen the preferred method when the key elements of the image using the performancePages, and performing them will be wrapping the image on the side of compromise pictures and intentions of the artist.
The third method is "Gallery Wrap". Here is where the image is stretched around the sides of the frame and brackets on the back. Image taken from the back, and pointing to the pages.
Both the "Gallery" and "Museum Wrap" unfit to be suspended, with or without frames. However,If you wrap the gallery and a framework to use the image on the sides lost.
In the graph, like the new Rodney White prints on canvas the various methods of stretching are important issues. Rodney White is probably the hottest artist right of the United States today. His images are full bleed the image to the edge of the paper. He paints word that has already crossed the border. If you are using the gallery wrap method, you will lose even more towords that are an important part of his paintings. Go to [http://www.RodneyWhiteeBay.com] to see his work, and it will be easy to understand what I mean. "Museum Wrap" should print the preferred method for this section. Will still be able to design or hang unframed. Neither would work and which do not interfere in the picture.
On the issue of sea and landscapes, where the image is just a continuation of the edges, the gallery "Wrap is very effective. There are also many pictures in an area where it would be very negative, or a series of sky and / or grasslands where this method is effective and aesthetically.
Finally, here is a little bit hung the "Museum and Gallery Wrapped" canvas. You can verify that depends on the stretcher bar, even without hardware. I like my paintings unframed hangs flush wall. I achieve this by putting two nails in the wallabout 6 inches off and make sure that I am a. You can use a small carpenter's plane used for this. So I just hang the piece on nails. Use the hanger right image size, where the weight of a concern. But most of the paintings unframed are quite easy. Use two nails, so that it will remain level. This works even if the art hang with wire hanger on the back.
