He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year. ♦ Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci, a polymath of unparalleled genius, was far more than just the painter of the Mona Lisa. He was a scientist, an inventor, an anatomist, and a philosopher. His insatiable curiosity drove him to painstakingly record observations on subjects from aerodynamics to human emotion. In the myriad of his notebooks, amidst sketches of flying machines and turbulent waters, we find gems of wisdom such as the quote at hand. This particular adage encapsulates a warning against impatience and the pitfalls of seeking instant gratification.

For artists, this cautionary advice holds especially true. Art, in its purest form, requires time, patience, and dedication. It's an endeavor where shortcuts seldom yield enduring results. While the modern world often pushes for immediate success, true artistic greatness is cultivated over years, even lifetimes. Da Vinci's own masterpieces were products of rigorous studies and countless iterations. As artists, we are reminded to remain patient, investing time in honing our craft and deepening our understanding. For while fleeting fame may be enticing, enduring legacy and the genuine respect of peers is earned through persistent effort and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

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.
