In video 225, I show you how you can mount loose canvas to a wall WITHOUT STAPLES! This has made a HUGE difference for me—faster, easier, and no staples to remove, which means less damage to the canvas and a cleaner, more professional presentation. This method is perfect for artists working large-scale or experimenting with temporary installations. I also take you through Part 1 of a brand new acrylic on canvas piece that’s 5′ tall by 6′ wide, sharing my process, color choices, and early composition decisions as the painting begins to unfold.
