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.

My aim in painting is to create pulsating, luminous, and open surfaces that emanate a mystic light. ♦ George Inness

George Inness's desire to capture a mystic light on canvas was not just an artistic choice but a reflection of his deeply held spiritual beliefs and his evolving relationship with nature. Rooted in the Tonalist movement, his works moved beyond mere representation, striving to encapsulate the intangible essence of the natural world. For many artists, it's not merely about replicating a scene but about encapsulating the emotions, memories, and sensations that a particular moment evokes.

Inness's path, characterized by his pursuit of transcendent beauty, offers a profound lesson for us. Art is not just an act of creation; it's an act of translation. We, as artists, take the complex, multi-sensory experiences of our lives and translate them into a visual medium. Our creations then become windows into our souls, revealing not just what we see, but what we feel, believe, and dream.
