I had been trying for weeks to find out what technique Helen Frankenthaler used but could not find this information anywhere. So glad I found this video, thank you🙏🏻💓I can't wait to start experimenting with this amazing technique. Helen is one of my favourite painters of all time

I found this very interesting. Thank you for sharing your experiment. I'm going to try this as I have a roll of canvas that's just been sitting around. I use to stretch my own canvas but because of arthritis in my hands gave it up. I think this looks like fun.

Interesting technique. I really like the results. Have you ever considered going the other direction, & rather than trying to break down the sizing & priming, just getting a product like Golden’s Absorbent Ground? It won’t be exactly the same as having it soak into the weaving of the canvas (if having the weaving visible is something you want then I guess that would be a dealbreaker), but Absorbent Ground (& other good quality watercolor/water-based fluid media grounds) is designed to even make a canvas absorptive enough to paint watercolor on a canvas primed with it, wet into wet, much the same as you would on watercolor paper, which seems like just the kind of absorption you need for this. Full transparency- I don’t know how it would react with turpentine. However, if you’re painting on gesso already then I doubt it would be catastrophic. I think the reason I’ve never seen oil paint used on it is simply because this practice of diluting oil paint to a pourable fluidity is so uncommon.

Cheryl: why not just wash then dry then lightly iron an unprimed canvas before using it? This removes the sizing and drying the canvas tightens the weave.

Hello - did you soak the unprimed canvas in water with the Rinse Aid added and then dried the canvas? Thank you.

I love your helpful experiments! What do you think about tempera paints? Are they archival?
@CherylWilsonArt
Жыл бұрын
I really do not use tempera paints much. I did get some tempura sticks I have not really used yet. I know that Tempera paint is washable and can be reactivated with water, whereas acrylic paint dries permanently so you would need to ensure they are varnished with some type of medium so they might not get reactivated. I always wondered what is honestly meant by archival? I would think archival means "durable to the standards of permanent art". SOOO, if you are putting on paper where they will be under glass they might not need so much of a topper, but on canvas, you might need to seal them in? I hope that helps. I hope you someday subscribe, it you might want to.
