Transporting a wet canvas

[Tom Edgerton]

Michele--

I don't paint very thickly, so offsetting onto the back of a canvas on top of the painting(s) don't seem to be a problem. If it happens a little, I don't worry about it.

This worked for me when I came home the day after a workshop. The paint had set up overnight. It was still wet, but not freshly painted and still sloppy. I don't know if it would work if you left a workshop and had to run for a plane or not.

If seepage into the above layer is a concern, could one put a piece of plastic wrap on top of each painting in the sandwich?

Still experimenting--TE

I've been looking for these for a long time, and here they are! You can place two canvases face-to-face, or one canvas facing some foam board.

The double pointed barrel-shaped pins are available at Binders

and the corner pins at Art Express, made by Holbein

These look great, Chris. Thanks for posting the info!

If you can paint on panels these work well I use them for plein air. http://www.raymarart.com/3/lp_124/sk..._products.html

These work well too, just need 2 canvases, then put in box or bag or somthing.
