Thank you for demonstration of the wedges. I have been to several art suppliers and asked what they are for and none were helpful, one snob took one look at my goghesque attire and said "you won't need them" and walked away. Again thank you.

Thank you, mystery solved. :) A question - Im assuming the wedges just stay in permanently once theyve been hammered in? What if the canvas needs retightening afterward? Do you just hammer some more, or is that going to split the wood?

They are also called 'Canvas Keys''. He shows how to attach them but didn't state their use. They are used to stretch canvas. Say ur canvas wasn't stored right and has a bump or is generally loose (no more tight), then you use them to tighten it by opening up the joints as he demonstrated. I;m also a novice to painting...

You don't necessarily tap the keys in to the point of creating a gap along the join - "keying out" should only be done if the canvas is slack, and care must be taken to not overdo it. Initially, you should tap the keys in enough to simply secure in the slots - your canvas should have been stretched well enough that you don't rely on the keys initially to tension the canvas.

Get a spray bottle and gently mist the back the canvas first with water. Allow to dry and check. Canvas keys force the stretcher bars apart and are a last measure really.

***** To tighten the canvas if you choose. Sometimes you need them, sometimes you don't. I think it depends on the humidity and climate you live in. Canvas can loosen up after manufacture if it's humid. I like my canvases to me tight to help with more detailed work. You can also spray a little water on the back of the canvas with a misting spray bottle to tighten the canvas if it's to loose.

You always attach the wedges before the painting to get an ideal tension on the canvas for the painting. In case your canvas looses tension during the painting process you can readjust it via the wedges again.

@faithhoneybeesetley77

If you have tried the wedges and it hasn't worked...sometimes it doesn't and can actually weaken the frame...then try this...wet the back of the stretched canvas. Just enough to dampen it. If it has a brace in the middle then put it facedown to avoid marking as the canvas tightens. If not, then just place aside and let dry. The material will tighten up again. Do this before painting and any washes you do on the painting will also help. I have also done this trick after creating a painting as sometimes we press a little too hard with pastels and such...long as you son't wet the back too much...and I stress...very little AFTER making the painting. It will still work to tighten and repair any dents. I am a professional artist

If the frames were made with good joints to begin with....buyers wouldn't need to do that. Kinda' funny if you ask me.
@JoshuaBoldt
7 жыл бұрын
The joints are purposely made to pull apart so that you can stretch the canvas. Over time the canvas material will breathe and the canvas won't be tight enough to paint on, or some jerk at the hobby store pushed on it too hard and loosened it. The wedges let you re-tension the canvas. It is impossible to paint on when it is loosey-goosey.
