Photos of Painting Process

(Link fixed..)

These photos are being done to document a commission for clients in the Bay Area, from raw lumber to a complete painting, begun this week. The sketches, both early ideas and full knock-up cartoons, were made earlier.



"
There is a specialty tool for this process, called canvas pliers. These are of course normally used by dilettantes and dandies."

Note that in the lead, the fellow says he broke up to six pairs a week.

Let me say that again: he BROKE pliers daily stretching canvas.

Admittedly those do look pretty good, but $100! Crickey!

The fastest chap I've ever seen stretching was my professor with the one arm and hook.
