There are no animal products that make-up the sizing and the primer for this fine canvas. Historically, traditional canvas grounds have included egg tempura, pigments with cow urine, and of course, rabbit skin glue. In today's rapidly advancing world, there are many more choices available for artists who prefer non-animal based products that perform far better than their animal-based predecessors.

Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner
Stretching your own canvas is a great way to have complete command of the process from start to finish. Once your canvas is fully stretched, and if you notice any puckers or loosely tensioned areas, or perhaps even slight waves, you can always rely upon Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner to correct any inconsistencies in the canvas tension. You can be sprayed on the back of a canvas to repair most canvas tension issues.
With Tight'n'Up™, you can add tension to just a small area, or a large area. Simply spray it lightly on the back and brush it into the canvas, and within seconds, your canvas becomes tighter and stays tighter. The more you use, the tighter it gets.

♦ Paul Gauguin
Paul Gauguin's words emphasize the intrinsic value of hands-on experience and the mastery of foundational skills in one's chosen craft. Despite the allure of the bohemian world of late 19th-century Paris, Gauguin's initial experiences were far from the paintbrush. He began his adult life in the navy, then became a stockbroker, and even dabbled in tarpaulin before discovering his calling as an artist. Each chapter of his life, however diverse, molded him, imparting knowledge and discipline that would eventually shape his distinctive artistic voice.
Every artist understands the importance of foundational skills. Techniques, perspectives, and even understanding the very materials we useÑthese are not just lessons but pillars on which great works of art are built. However, beyond the mechanics, it's the broader experiences, the trials, and the challenges that truly enrich our perspectives. As artists, we often draw from our past, from moments of joy, pain, love, and loss. These experiences, combined with technical expertise, create a potent combination that allows us to express with depth and authenticity.
So, while we may find inspiration in the starlit skies or the rolling waves of the sea, it's the years of practice, the countless hours of trial and error, and the wealth of life experiences that truly allow us to bring our visions to life. Gauguin's reminder serves as a beacon, guiding us to respect the process, cherish the learning, and remember that in art, as in life, the journey often enriches the destination.
Creativity is a dance between inspiration and innovation. Our own self portrait creation of Paul Gauguin twirls alongside these profound words, hoping to set the stage for your next artistic performance. Now go do your dance on the canvas!
