When you’re finished with a piece and it’s dry? Run a dryer sheet over it. Wiping it down with those anti static sheets will keep it from getting dusty before it sells

I just bought a beat up canvas from Goodwill that I want to work on. I Googled “how to repair a dented canvas” thinking I was going to have to re-staple things and go through a whole ordeal. I am stunned all it took was a few spritzes of water. This is such an awesome tip. Thank you!!

You can't see me, but I'm standing and applauding! lol, the things you learn on the streets, right? Just wow.

Honestly this is the best thing ever! I recently damaged an expensive original painting in a house move, dented it and was absolutely raging with myself, legit so depressed about it but saw this and cannot actually believe it worked! I’m so happy, thank you so much for posting this ❤️

Thanks to you my beautiful oil painting has been restored. It got a horrible dent during our move but I followed your advice and it’s as good as before. Thank you 🎉

That’s it? I never thought it would be sooooo easy to fix this issue, my beautiful painting is saved! 😂👌🏻

I can’t thank you enough. My daughter painted 3 large canvas paintings (a set). I put them in my car and they were leaning against things. They stretched out and looked ruined. I was devastated. I used a spray bottle of water, had to keep repeating because the stretched areas were fairly large. Thank you a million times, all the paintings are restored!!! ❤🎉

I'm glad I watched this. I was ready to pull all the staples out and restretch it that way. Being that what I have are "bargain" canvasses, this video will be a big help

I had the same problem as Jonathan Mayer - I have a 30x30 I tried this on and at first it was tight but then as soon as it dried completely it was loose again. I asked my painting teacher how to fix a loose canvas and what he does is he adds cheap elmer's glue with the (warm) water. So the water does a great job at shrinking the cotton and as it dries the glue dries and it acts as a support/stiffener. 50% warm water, 50% elmer's glue - paint on with a soft brush, working it in. Et voila! A canvas that will shrink and stay shrunk regardless of the size.

Great tip !

Oh my god, this was so helpful. I’m a beginner painter in art school and I just dented some of my homework canvases. I thought that I was gonna have to start over. Thank you so much! 💜

MANY thanks!! A friend of mine gave me a painting that means a lot me. Unfortunately, this painting incurred three dents during a move. I was very upset and hurt when I noticed it. I thought that the painting was pretty much ruined. However, thanks to this video, the painting looks as good as new. Again, MANY, MANY, MANY thanks! I GREATLY appreciate it. All the best!😁

You’re a lifesaver! One our favorite paintings was dented during a renovation. Thank you!

Great information Jane, I have thrown some painted baggy canvases out in the past, won’t now. Thanks again, you’re a true star! 💖

I'm so glad I found you Jane, it is so fascinating watching you paint and learning everything you impart. I am mostly a watercolor painter but I've been investing in acrylic paints and want to start in that medium. Your knowledge is tremendous and you make me feel that I can paint anything...thanks for your tutelage

You made my week!!! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! I was so bummed over a painting I received with a dent and now it's all fixed!

Wow, thank you so much!!! I just found a huge dent in one of my favorite paintings, and this technique fixed it. 💗

wow, thank you. one of the best and quickest videos explaining repair etc.

Wow, thank you so much ! A beautiful print in my living room which I believed was going to have to be discarded is pristine thanks to your excellent help !! Very much appreciated !!

What a transformation! Thank you SO much, Jane. I stored a huge painting and was crushed when I saw the canvas wasn't flat. I appreciate you 💜

Thank you so much for this tutorial on how to fix canvases. I had one of my favorite paintings that i thought was ruined and a canvas that i had made special to size. I followed your instructions on my empty canvas was totally amazed as i watched the dent disappear. I cannot wait to share this simple fix with my friends who also dabble with paints. Thanks again and blessings.

That tip is going to save so many paintings of mind I thought were lost.. THANK YOU!!

Wow!😍 So easy, and my painting is fixed right before my eyes! So grateful!🙏🏼💫

Thank you! Literally just saved me $1300 - fixed a painting on canvas that got dented in less than a minute. Really appreciate it.

Thanks Jane for your great contributions to the art world. Just started viewing you and really appreciate you!

This is amazing! Thank you for such an easy and effective way to remove bumps from paintings that were not stored properly. Worked like a charm and the bump was completely gone after it dried.

Thanks so much for your help, Jane. This repair method will sure come in handy! Awesome!

Just found out I had a dent in my canvas, and found your video. I also looked to see what you have on your other videos. I subscribed. Thanks !

Such a simple helpful cure for an annoying problem! Can't understand how anyone would find it otherwise. Thank you so much for the info!

My huband moved one of my paintings on top of another canvas so that a corner was poking into the middle of the canvas from behind, making a noticeable dent. I was super sad to see it and was distraught thinking it was ruined. Then I found your video and, a few seconds later, the dent is magically gone! Thank you so much! Definitely will keep this advice in mind going forward!

This helped so much! I was working on a client’s portrait of her dog and I didn’t realize that I was putting too much pressure on the canvas while crawling it and it was almost as stretched out like your blank one, it helped thank you!

I am really grateful for your videos. I live in a very rural area of North Georgia and no true art lessons within 1.5 to 2 hour commute of my home and even then it is basically drawn on a canvas and fill in with craft paint. While they were fun to be a part of, I wanted to learn techniques and not just "paint by filling in the blanks". I have viewed many tutorials and yours are simply the best and it fits my work routine. You are an amazing artist and teacher! Thank you!!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I just fixed all of my canvases that have been leaning in storage and I thought they were completely ruined... But now they're all saved! You saved me so much time and money and stress, thank you!!!

This is exactly what I needed to learn this week! I had searched for this information for days without success. Just happened upon your video after I had given up. Thank you!

Thank you, I needed a specific size canvas for my art class, found one in the cupboard - all floppy. Watched, wetted it and already it is tighter before it has dried! Saved me money!

Thank you so much! I was so happy that it worked! I had started a painting and was so upset that another canvas leaned against it and dented it!

Thank you so much for this tip! It really did work, I was so impressed!! It turned my frown upside down because I was so disappointed my art piece had been dented, but now I can't even tell the dent was ever there! Yay! Thank you!

Thank you for this problem solving idea of repairing loose canvas! You saved me money by not throwing them in the trash! Hooray!

Best tip ever! I tried it and it worked wonderfully. Thank you so much!

Excellent! My surprise how easy this is, mimics the comments below. What a gem you are!! I haven't needed this tool, but I often see the edge of the wood and I didn't know it could even be corrected. I have learned to paint over the last couple of years with tutorials like these. I saved my development for after I retired. Thank you Thank you!!

I can't wait to try this - one of my favorite paintings, done by a good friend of mine, got dented just like this one in the video when I moved. I was SO upset and heartbroken, especially since it's my own fault for packing it incorrectly. Thank you for giving me hope!!!

Thank you for this! I had some big canvases in a closet with things leaning in them and one of them had a dent that was super loose and went about a inch out! Water magically repaired it!!

Amazing! This worked like a charm on a vintage painting I purchased from an antique store. Thank you!

I love your tips. I've just bought my first canvasses and your tips make my problem now easily resovable. Nicely explained. Thanks.

when I was watching this, I thought "no way it's this simple" but tried it anyways. It IS that simple. You rock

Amazing! One of my grandmother's paintings on canvas was transported across the US to me, arrived with a couple of dings. So sad. But your technique worked great - like magic - and turned my frown upside down. Much thanks!

This was so helpful! So glad you showed with and without paint! Thank you :)

OMG THE MOST HELPFUL VIDEO EVER! I took home a painting for school and my cat tipped it over and I didn’t notice it so it had a dent. You literally saved my grade because my art teacher would have freaked! Thank you!!!!

Crazy timing of this video! I have 6 brand new canvases lined up at the door ready for the trash bc they’re all dented from storing them in my closet. This is amazing! Thank you

Thank you, Jane, for sharing how to tighten a canvas. I gave you a Like for your vid before I even tried out your repair tip. Admittedly, I had my doubts that it would work. Um... WOW! It IS just that simple... rub water and wait! I used this process on a large 4' x 3' mid century canvas painting that had puckers throughout - it now looks freshly stretched!

First video that came up after my search and the only video I needed. My canvas is currently drying and im in shock. This was like magic!! Thank you thank you

Thanks. I just got a massive 48" x 48" canvas dirt cheap because it had a small dent. This fixed it!

In less than 30 seconds it worked! You rock star! I can imagine soaking it in water, rubbing it in and then placing it in a hot location or hair dryer for quick drying.

Holy cow I just tried this and it fixed my canvas Immediately!

Jane, many thanks for this video. I was wondering what I could do to tighten up two 30x40" canvases so that they are taut don't sag (I was dreading having to restretch these large canvases). I love our community of artists -- we have an exemplary mindset of caring and sharing, and your video "assist" is a clear example of what everyone should be doing to help others and make this a better world for everyone.

I just want to thank you profusely for this - I started out many years ago "learning" to paint from youtube artists, the first one I found wasn't very helpful, I think they designed their videos to make people keep coming back to be hand-held, so I moved on to you, and learned so much. Eventually I went off in my own direction and I owe that in part to your instruction. So when I accepted a commission today and grabbed the canvas off the shelf and found it dented, I was a little distressed, I simply don't have time to order another, it's a birthday present for someone and I'm on a big time constraint. So, I Googled, and there you were again, there for me. :) The canvas looks great now, and I do think this is the most useful tip I've ever gotten. Thanks again Jane, you are truly an amazing and awesome human.

Wow, don't usually comment on videos but this was super simple and actually worked to remove a dent on a new canvas I have had lying around for ages as thought was a lost cause!

Omg thank you so much for this tip. This is by far THE EASIEST AND QUICKEST TIP EVERRRR!

THANK YOUUUU. Just had an art show I had to travel for and a 30x48 piece got severely dented. I was stressing out....but tried this and saved me so much more time and stress trying to get it restretched. Thank you.

We just received a canvas print that had been dented in transit and this tip fixed it. Thank you!

Thank God Jane! Whew, I was about throw out a few of them! Ya saved me some money and Thanks from your subscriber in Florida.

Oh my God thank you so much I spent hours on this, I’m so glad it’s fixed thank you for saving my painting!❤️

SOOOO helpful! I have some large canvases that got dented in storage that I can't wait to fix this way. Thank you!!

Wow! You just saved me so much time and effort, thanks so much :D

I was skeptical about doing what you did in the video, but it WORKED!! Thanks Jane! I love all your tips and tutorials :))

OMG - amazing and so simple.. Got really big dents on my new canvas and I lost hope but suddenly found your video. It is now completely stretched. Thank you very much

I left canvases for a decade and was strictly paper, wood-panel and cement/brick-wall (graffiti) based. As I get older I am wanting to get back to canvases. Just got some low budget, large artist's loft canvases. This is a lifesaver of a lesson. Thank you. Odd how I forgot this trick despite decades of canvas work. I actually had to Google this. Ugh. Getting old is surprising on so many levels. Thank you, ma'am. Subscribed.

Im amazed at how well this works.

Just fixed both of these things and OMG, worked awesome!!!! Thank you!

THANK YOU! I bought the cheapest paint by numbers, attached it as tight as possible to a frame and it had all sorts of bends and bumps (especially in the corners). I lost all hope, but your video literally just stretched it out into a brand new painting. Thank you so so much Jane.

I was thinking about how I would be able to fix a canvas that it was ready to paint and found your channel. Thanks so much for the video and tips. Excellent content. I have subscribed to your channel and I wish you the best. Blessings and take care.

Thank you for this simple fix ,My beautiful Jean St Fleur painting got a dent right in the middle and I so bummed but with a little water it is now completely gone. Thank you so much

Excellent information! Thank you Jane. Keep them coming!!!!

Omg. I have thrown paintings away. 🤦‍♀️ I'm so glad I finally learned this trick. Working on a Christmas gift tonight and didn't want to go find a new canvas. You saved my evening and maybe my Christmas lol. Thank you!

Amazing. Best tip ever worked so quick . Instantly subbed !

I am a completly new painer and you have taught me so mush already thank you so much .

I love you Ma’am. I was ready to pitch a nearly finished work because the canvas was bowed. You have saved me from a night of binge drinking

I just bought a giant painting and I was really happy to get it home and when I took it home in the back of my truck it got a dent and I was so bummed. I used your technique but with a damp towel and it worked. I am so happy and it is all thanks to you and this video!!!

Perfect directions and demonstration - it worked for us on a large canvas. Thank you!

Thanks for the info I just bought to 24x30 canvases and they both weren’t stretched properly . Wasn’t sure what to do . I came across your video and bam ! I sprayed some water on them and the problem was fixed . Thank you for sharing .

OMG!!! I have just tried this on a painting I had completed where I thought it was ruined by the corner folding in and it has instantly taken the fold out!!! This the best artist tip ever, I'm so glad I came across this video. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for this very helpful video! I just received a piece of canvas art that cost me a pretty penny. When I got it out of the package, it was creased along the wood mount and it was very loose/puckering in the upper right quadrant. I thought I was going to have to send it back, but then I found this video and followed your instructions and it looks perfect now! Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤

The water treatment absolutely works great. Thank you, thank you! Movers leaned boxes against an oil painting of my favorite dog portrait, my Great Dane "Aslan". The dent (bulge) was from the back of the canvas and completely pushed out his nose. I was in tears. Per your suggestion, I opened the backside paper backing, sprayed a little plain water right on the "dent" and wiped the water into the fibers. An hour later, I went back to check the canvas and it was completely back to normal. Can't thank you enough. All the best, Elise

YOU ARE AN ANGEL, this was so quick and easy!!

Sincerely appreciate it. Helped us repair a painting we love & were terrified it had been ruined when storing it during some house work. Thank you
