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.

In art, theories are as useful as a doctor's prescription; one must be sick to believe them. ♦ Robert Delaunay

One might wonder what drove Robert Delaunay to such a stark conclusion about art theories. Throughout his career, Delaunay was characterized by his persistent desire to break free from conventions, to shed the weight of traditional forms and thoughts. His statement here underscores a fundamental belief: art thrives on authenticity and intuition, rather than rigid theories or prescribed methods. Like a prescription meant for an ailment, theories can sometimes be restrictive, limiting an artist's potential to explore and experiment.

For many in the world of art, this sentiment is deeply relatable. While theories and guidelines can provide a framework, they should not become the cage in which creativity is confined. We, in our art careers, frequently encounter these crossroads, where we must decide whether to conform or to chart our own course. It is in these moments of choice that our unique voice and vision come to the fore. As we trust our instincts and carve our path, we recognize that true artistic liberation lies beyond theories, in the realms of imagination and daring.
