There is a kind of success that is indistinguishable from panic. ♦ Edgar Degas

Edgar Degas, the celebrated French Impressionist painter and sculptor, uttered these words that resonate deeply with artists across the ages. Degas, known for his iconic depictions of dancers and the vibrant world of the Parisian stage, had a complex relationship with success. His career was met with both acclaim and self-doubt, making his insight into the nature of success profoundly relevant to artists today.

For Degas, success was not always a source of joy; at times, it brought a sense of unease and urgency. We can relate to this dichotomy, understanding that success can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. Degas's own pursuit of perfection and his willingness to push the boundaries of artistic conventions exemplify the relentless spirit that often accompanies creative success. Yet, his acknowledgment of the inherent tension between achievement and anxiety reminds us that our own path is not linear but rather a nuanced exploration of our inner landscapes. As we navigate the intricate dance between ambition and apprehension, we, like Degas, can find solace in the realization that this delicate balance is an integral part of our creative evolution.

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.
