Ever wondered what is canvas painting? May be you have heard of it, maybe not. Some of you out there may even want to try but do not know anything about canvas painting. Read on and by the time you finish reading this, you may sound like an expert.
Canvas painting is basically painting on a canvas. You may have heard of painting, oil painting, pastel painting acrylic painting but not canvas painting. If you have not realise by now… you CAN paint on canvas. The canvas I am talking about is not your canvas bag but a more professional kind of canvas that can be bought and be framed up when you are done with your masterpiece.
We will start with the canvas itself. The canvas can be bought at an art shop. There are many sizes of canvas available in the market. There are many types pre-stretched too. Some of them are:
1) Decorative and Miniature
2) Traditional Profile Cotton
3) Deep Profile Cotton
4) Traditional Profile Linen
5) Deep Profile Linen
Basically, different types of canvas have different texture and weight. Decorative and miniature canvases are usually used for craft purposes. Deep Profile Cotton canvas is usually the canvas with the highest quality.
What you need to know when you buy the canvas is what type of paint and what type of painting you are doing. If you are looking for a more textured painting, you should go for the medium textured canvas. Textured canvas like a silk canvas will be recommended if you are doing traditional art.
Remember that if you use different type of paint on different type of canvas, you can bring out different results. If you are thinking about traveling with the big piece of canvas and do not have any idea how to, read on. The next paragraph will tell you about canvas carriers.
There are three types of canvas carries that are usually used. They are:
1) Guerilla Painter Panel Carriers
2) Handy Porter Boxes
3) Stanrite Aluminum Wet Canvas Carriers
Different types of canvas carriers suit different purpose. The Guerilla Painter Panel Carriers is an ideal way to transport artwork. It is adjustable and it keeps up to twelve wet panels or up to four wet stretched canvasses completely enclosed. The Handy Porter Boxes are made of corrugated boxes with channeled polystyrene grooves to hold paintings however, it is not an ideal way to transport your masterpiece on a rainy day. The last carrier is only ideal if you want to store your artwork indoors.
