One must be very learned to know the truth. ♦ Albrecht Dürer

The life of Albrecht Dürer, distinguished by his relentless pursuit of knowledge and artistic innovation, gives context to this statement. Born in the heart of the Renaissance, a period characterized by an insatiable thirst for learning, Dürer distinguished himself not just as a painter, but also as a mathematician, theorist, and printmaker.

The pursuit of truth is often twofold. On one hand, we seek to hone our technical skills, to depict the world with accuracy and finesse. But on a deeper level, we chase the intangible, the essence of our subjects, the emotions and stories they hold. Dürer's statement serves as a reminder that our path to understanding is paved with continuous learning. By expanding our horizons, diving into new disciplines, and challenging our preconceptions, we draw closer to the heart of our art and, consequently, to the truth.

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.
