Making The Canvas

In creating a canvas.. You'll need the following

1. 2 pcs 1x2 wood - 8ft long (depends on what the size of your canvas)
2. nails
   
3. thumbtacks / staples
4. canvas - 36x36 inches (Deovir retail)
5. Semi-Gloss Latex Paint
6. Brush
7. Carpentry tools

Start with measuring the desired length and width of your canvas, then cut the wood. Afterward also cut the side of the wood in a slanting proportioned position to fit in two facing cut wood. Then nail them all together.

Stretch out the canvas and put hold the middle parts with the thumbtacks or staple it. Slowly grab and stretch again the other parts to create a drumlike / bouncy lock feel to the cloth then put thumbtacks on it and fill the gaps too.

Apply the latex coating. First coat is 50% water & 50% latex. Then 2nd coat is purely latex but in two directions. and lastly sandpaper to smooth the surface and then apply latex finally. Just let it dry and start Oil Painting
