Concentrating on the benefits of stretching and preparing a custom surface for painting, this demo will cover the properties of canvas weights, demonstrate how to assemble a frame using our stretcher bars, and provide an overview of the different gessos and grounds that we carry at Opus.
Upcoming Demos
Refine your skills, learn something new, or get inspired by other artists sharing their ideas and methods. Visiting Artist and Staff Demos are informative, free and happening at an Opus near you.
