Are my corners okay or should I slather on another thick layer of gesso?It better shrink some or I'm not using this gesso again. I got like a gallon container.no idea what I'm putting on the canvas.I was thinking about a landscape.I'm making my own stretchers btw - out of 2 x 4's, but I need a table saw because sawing these 45-degree angles made me all sweaty today.
>>7730752It's fine, should've glued+gessoed the canvas before stretching, but whatever
>>7730878I gesso'd it after so its tight and I didn't use glue.The gesso dries and it shrinks, making it tighter.I don't know of the advantage of doing it the way you are telling me. Plus, I'm no Rembrandt
>>7730885The way you describe makes more sense to me also. Maybe >>7730878 can explain a little more.
