Ilaria, I laughed at this.
All of my paintings are created with the swipe of my Visa card!
Are you sure that steaming the linen is okay archievally? I wonder about this. I have a big crumpled bundle of linen in the corner of my closet that landed there in a Bad Art Moment. It would be nice to resurrect it someday.
I'm doing a "gallery wrap" where I go around the sides with the linen. Yesterday I sized the canvas with Gamblin's PVA size (a subsitute for rabbitskin glue) and today I plan to put on a coat of Holbein's Underpainting Lead White.
Allan and Carlos, thanks for your tips. I wonder if somebody could post a photo of the back of a perfectly made gallery-wrapped (around the sides of the stretcher bar) stretched canvas?
