Wowww! That was soooo good and simple, clear and succinct, thank you, Haidee Jo Summers!!!

This is brilliant! It was the first method I looked at and I went on to look at many others, all of which were unnecessarily complicated and expensive. I've just been out to my studio and prepared a handful of boards in a very short time. Thank you!

This is exactly what I needed for my DIY projects! I need different sizes of canvas than what can be found in stores, this is easy and you explain it so simply. THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you so much for this video. I've made a few panels now using these steps and they are great.

This tutorial was spot on .. very well done .. and thank you for making it easy to follow .. 👍

Nice idea and very well done! I think this is the Best way to make canvas panel boards...

This is fantastic and I love your artwork! Thank you so much for this tutorial!

This is a very inspiring video. Thank you so much and well done !

Thank so much for sharing with us how to make an easy canvas board for paintings I love it ❤😊

Wonderful tutorial especially liked the tip on the colored background. Thanks for sharing.

Great idea. I saw this video some time ago and bought the muslin and board - then I couldn't find the video again. Can't wait to try this.

wow ...very nice........thank you

Great tutorial! I've been making my own boards for years and they work very well and give one a great feeling of satisfaction. One thing though, I would worry about the back...a beautiful masterpiece with a messy back?? Before I glue the fabric to the board, I draw the outline of the board in pencil on the fabric, then with a rule, measure another 1 and 1/2" border in pencil all round the edge of the board outline and cut along the outer edges. Then apply PVA glue (much cheaper than gesso) to the board, line it up with its outline on the fabric, apply glue to the overlapping fabric edges, fold back and make sure the corners are glued down securely and...and there you have a beautiful neat board ready to be primed! And no shame when a potential buyer looks at the back :-) I hope that helps, happy painting!

That was my thought too -- does she actually sell these as finished paintings? Or perhaps they're just for her plein air and initial concepts for later finished pieces on higher quality supports. I've always been warned to use the best quality materials I can afford if I want to attract real collectors.

Thank you!!! I can’t wait to do mine!! ❤️

beautiful video, thank you!

Love the video! It was just what I was looking for :) :)

I do love your paintings

Thank You very much, its so informative and useful. can you please let us know what kind of ready made frame you have used to frame the art work.

This is exactly what I needed, what a great resource this video is. Thanks for sharing! I only wish she had shown how to finish the back.

Jaclyn. Just before the glue is completely dry, remove the ragged edge at the back, using a craft-knife guided by a straight-edge. Cut through to the board. Peel off the ragged edges. Then cover the back with a piece of inexpensive watercolour paper, glued over the canvas edges. This also equalises the 'stretch' and helps to stop the board buckling as the canvas dries. I hope that helps you.

Making one's own boards is satisfying, I agree. But it does take a lot of time; time I could spend painting; when I'm not guitar-ing! Thanks for this.

Very well done video! Thank you.

Thank you so much for this very worthy video content, keep up the good Work.. Godbless you

this is soooooooooooo brilliant idea. and your painting are amazing 😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Thankyou!!! much better than glue and cardboard!!

Wonder if a tinted Gesso for the final coat might be better for filling/smoothing (followed by 2000 grit paper) I guess I will find out

THANK YOU THIS IS AMAZING

I cover ply, craftboard and masonite up to 4ft by 3ft and even bigger. I stop it warping by painting the back in a cross and or using wooden battons. I have also clamped them between two study plywood panels when touch dry with good success.

FudgeandCheese Hi, Yes I cover the canvas in gesso. I generally use canvas and not muslin. If you make the boards more than 90cmx120cm it is a good idea to brace them on the back with some dressed pine.

Excellent! Well explained.thanks..

Nice video, very pleasant manner and easy to understand.

Love it.

Oh heck yeah! Thanks so much.

Nice explaining and preparing

what type of muslin do I need.If I make bigger boards do I need thicker mdf. great idea

Many thanks for this video, so very helpful. I have just finished an oil painting on box canvas. I have quite a bit of unwanted area and I want to remove it from the stretcher and stick it to MDF board. Do you prime the MDF? Also what glue do you use to stick the canvas onto the MDF? I have heard that you should use an ACID FREE PVA (do you have a make you could recommend?. Once again, thank you for taking the time to share this.

Excellent technique!

thanks for sharing, can I ask after I paint... Can I ask if I remove the canvas and put it to a frame

Many thanks for that top tip.

Wow! I like it... i like it a lot!

What over cloth material can I use for this project?

really useful, thank you!

Awsmmm😍 Thank you so much shown it helpfull fr me 😊

omg i love you!!!

Thanks so much!!

PRO TIP: Instead of coating the board first, coat the muslin. It also helps to use a spray bottle filled with water to moisten the muslin first. Then coat the panel. Doing it this way will insure that the gesso will defiantly adhere itself to the panel very, very well. Use a squeegee to flatten and pull the air bubble underneath out of the muslin and spread the cloth evenly. I do not know why you use PVA glue on one side and not the other... makes no sense at all. I use PVA glue instead of gesso to begin with. PVA seals the panel and muslin to be more archival. Then put any ground overtop. If you are painting with oils, then coating over gesso with acrylic is not recommended. Delamination problems pop up in the distant future. If you are going to paint acrylics, it does not matter.

@@katherineyg5013 I myself use cotton 600 count for a smooth finish, but there is a huge difference between muslin and linen- for one, Muslin is a cotton fabric of plain weave of Bangladesh and Linen is a textile made from spun flax fiber. The Flax fiber does not degrade as cotton does, has a higher fiber content and is not prone moisture as much as cotton. For this reason it is considered much more archival.

thank you, very useful video...

Thanks, Haidee.

How does painting on the muslin compare with linen? Can you mount linen the same way?

Great money saver. Thanks

oh 😵eeeeasy thank you for the great easy tutorial

Thnqqqq so much maam... 😊😊😊your video is very useful..... 😇

which primer is used here please tell me I am a beginner

Thank you so much!!!!!

Excellent presentation and I love your accent.

can we use heatgun to dry the gesso ???

Thanks! Much appreciated :-)

What kind of cloth did you use? Any specification or requirement for the cloth? And I wonder if I could make large size of canvas board (like 30x40 inches or a bit larger) this way?

Wow nice idea for making cheap canvas👍👍👍

Thank you very lovely...

As long as you treat the back in the same way as the front, it will not warp. In other words, if you use gesso on the face, treat the back with gesso after the front has dried.

Which cloth u r using?
