Hi, everyone!
I have an idea for using my left-over gessoed canvas to make aceo-sized canvas boards and wondered if anyone had done this.
I remove some gessoed canvas from stretchers, as it had been dented in storage. (This is canvas I stretched myself, not pre-stretched commercial canvas.)
I would like to glue this to double-weight illustration board, pulling an extra amount around to the back, in the same way commercial canvas "boards" are prepared. I would also glue a backing paper to hide the edges on the back side.
Has anyone ever done something like this? I see aceo oil paintings done on canvas paper, but I haven't seen mini-canvas boards such as this.
Can anyone give me some advice? I need ideas for what kind of glue would be best. I'm thinking acrylic matte medium, but wonder if there is anything better. I want to avoid bubbles, etc.
I'd be willing to make a few of these for whomever can help me do this successfully!
Thanks!
Nan
