To get away from working on the birdman painting for a bit, i decided i would begin a larger canvas painting of the abstraction of inside the body. To save on my studio time by making a frame, i went to see if any of the old frames from the previous year would be suitable. I found one that was just the right size, as i wanted one that wasnt too massive but big enuf too allow me more room for experimentation. I then stretched my canvas to the frame, but i did not do it well enuf so before priming the frame, i tried too tighten up my canvas by just using a water wash over the front and sides of the canvas to tighten it. This would then enable me to work on a stronger canvas that was less likely too sag.
