The stretchers, the canvas and the GUN |
First you need to find stretchers and this is not an easy task ;-)
Just joined the MoMA online course and the first step is to stretch a canvas to have a better understanding.
Found my stretchers and canvas from Bondi Road Art.
And now it is time to start ;-)

The first corner |
 |
How to lock them |
 |
Getting ready for the other corner |
 |
One more step |
 |
The frame is ready!! |
 |
Having enough canvas is ESSENTIAL to cover the frame. |
 |
|
 |
Placing the frame in the middle and then pulling on the canvas to stretch and place the first staple |
 |
Second staple |
 |
Third staple |
 |
Fourth staple.
This process need to continue all around the canvas
until the corner. Each time, the canvas need to be pulled
and stapled. The corner was the biggest challenge for me.
I felt that I had too much canvas to fold..

The frame finish and ready to paint
The corner is a little big to my taste and need more practice.
Will get bigger stretcher and I am waiting for comments for my MoMA course
