STRETCHING INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS
How to stretch the canvas.

This print is produced for a "Gallery Wrap". The image is stretched around the sides of the stretcher frame and the staples are on the back. The image is taken right up to the back edge of the sides and shows on the sides.

"Gallery Wrap" lend itself to being hung with or without a frame. However, if you use the "Gallery Wrap" and a frame, the image on the sides is lost.

The frame is usually 1" (approx. 2,5cm) thick. As a result, the hardware (staples or tacks) used to secure the canvas are not visible. The sides of the canvas are prepared and primed in the same manner as the face or front. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
