Oh no! A Hole! How To Patch a Canvas // How to repair a tear in stretched canvas

Описание: Have you ever ruined a brand new canvas by dropping something on it or puncturing it? Maybe you got a good deal on a damaged stretched canvas and you want to know how to make it useable. In this video, I will show you how to repair a hole or rip in a stretched canvas so you can have a flawless surface to paint on.

Supplies: *Affiliate links used
One damaged stretched canvas (duh)
Glue or gel medium https://shrsl.com/3fq7m
Gesso https://shrsl.com/3fq78
Palette knife https://shrsl.com/3fq7b
1" wide Taklon paintbrush https://shrsl.com/3fq7j
Wax paper, parchment or another non stick surface
A weight like a book or heavy flat object
Raw canvas fabric (you can use a canvas drop cloth or 100% cotton duct from a fabric store) https://shrsl.com/3fq7u

Directions:
1. Cut a circle of unprimed canvas fabric larger than the hold you want to patch. I go about 1" larger on all sides and round the corners.
2. Working from the back of the canvas brush glue on the damaged canvas as well as on the patch and press the patch glue side down over the hole. Brush over the patch to make sure you have good contact and the edges are glued down well. Let dry. *Make sure your work surface is protected with plastic or waxed paper to prevent sticking.
3. Flip over the canvas and paint gesso over the hole. You can use a palette knife to scrape the thick gesso over the hole and level the surface. Feel free to do several layers and sand if needed.
4. I recommend giving the entire canvas a fresh coat of gesso to make sure the surface is consistent.

Happy painting!
