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.

The essential thing is to spring forth, to express the bolt of lightning one senses upon contact with a thing. ♦ Claude Monet

Claude Monet's tireless pursuit of his impressionist style of luminous landscapes and groundbreaking approach to capturing light, shares these profound words with artists, even today. Monet's life and work are a testament to his unwavering commitment to conveying the immediacy of his sensory experiences through his art.

Born in 1840 in Paris, he began as a struggling artist, facing financial hardships and rejection from the art establishment. However, he persevered, honing his craft and forging a path that would redefine the art world. Monet, along with fellow Impressionists, sought to capture the fleeting and ephemeral moments of life, embracing the impermanence of existence. His quote reflects this ethos - the urgency and passion with which an artist should approach their subject, much like the sudden and brilliant flash of lightning.

As artists, we can draw inspiration from Monet's dedication to spontaneity and the vividness of his impressions. He implores us to trust our instincts, to let our creativity flow without restraint when we are moved by something deeply. In doing so, we too can hope to create works of art that encapsulate the essence of the moment and allow viewers to experience the same exhilaration and wonder that stirred us as artists. Monet's legacy reminds us that art is not a mere reproduction of reality but a profound connection between the artist, their subject, and the viewer.
