How much money can canvas paintings sell for? At a garage sale? They are new watercolor, artist unknown.?

Posted by admin on April 16th, 2010 and filed under artist canvas | 2 Comments »

Oh, sorry, a few are 12×16, and 16×20
sorry, inches

they are really good paintings.

It depends on the subject matter and who comes to the garage sale and how much you want to get rid of it.

where can I buy artist canvas and supplies?

Posted by admin on April 14th, 2010 and filed under artist canvas | 3 Comments »

where can I find plain artist canvas for cheap prices online?I have been to acmoore a billion times but just want to buy a larger quantity then 3 in a package? I also am not a ricch person so i just need help with a website.

About the cheapest place is buy art supplies on-line is either Dick Blick or Utrecht. Pearl is also cheaper than A C Moore.

Stay away from both Michael’s and Arron Brothers (both are owned by the same company) because they are over-priced. Rex Art and Hobby Lobby are also more expensive.

I have never tried or priced anything from Cheap Joe’s Art Supplies so you might want to check them out yourself.

Mold on artist’s canvas?

Posted by admin on April 12th, 2010 and filed under artist canvas | 3 Comments »

It probably sounds like a bad idea but I bought four artist’s canvases that had mold on them. I bought them because they were only 50 cents each. I thought that if I couldn’t remove the mold/mildew then I could use the frames to make new canvases out of a better quality canvas. Does anybody know how to clean them? And also would the mold stay in the wooden frame if I do decide to buy a roll? thanks

sprinkle baking soda on them and let it set on the effected areas…brush off with a dust broom or scrub brush even a tooth brush
if there is still mold make a thick paste of baking soda, lemon juice and a little water spread it on the area again and place in the sun til it dries and get crusty…brush off vigorously with out pushing or stretching the canvas….

after this let it sit for a day or two and the re gesso it

what is the name of the artist that throws paint on canvas to create celebrity portraits?

Posted by admin on April 10th, 2010 and filed under artist canvas | 3 Comments »


Um, I know that Johnson Pollock was the guy who threw paint on canvas & Andy Warhol did a lot of Celebrity Portraits; but I don’t think either of them really did both. Did they?

Where can I buy canvas hangers to hang an unframed canvas on the wall. What stores sell them?

Posted by admin on April 8th, 2010 and filed under artist canvas | 3 Comments »

I am a new artist and I was wondering do most artists put canvas hangers on their canvases or do they leave it to the buyer? Also where can I buy canvas hangers? Thank you very much! I hope I’m not bothering anybody.

Leave it to the buyer, and when you sale or offer a piece for sale say: "hanging hardware available upon request"

Everyone has their own way of hanging art.

You ucan find them cheaper at your local Walmart.

what are the plastic things stapled to the back of artists canvas?

Posted by admin on April 6th, 2010 and filed under artist canvas | 1 Comment »

I think they are to tighten the canvas but I don’t know how to use them. any advise would be good!

I always throw them away. They go in the corners if you need to tighten up the canvas if humidity or lack of it causes the stretch to get a bit loose. A bit of water sprayed on the back does that also.
Tip: always lightly sand the gessoed canvas before painting, and choose portrait canvas for very detailed pieces. (this keeps your brushes from wearing out so fast. )
