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.

Nature is very rarely right, to such an extent even, that it might almost be said that nature is usually wrong. ♦ James Whistler

The audacity of James Whistler's statement lies in its provocative challenge to conventionally accepted views on nature. Whistler, an American-British painter known for his innovative style and often contentious opinions, consistently strived to bring a fresh perspective to the art world. With this statement, he wasn't merely critiquing nature's designs but emphasizing the role of an artist in interpreting and transforming what they see.

While many might believe that the majesty of nature is unparalleled, Whistler pushes us to see beyond mere replication. His belief was that an artist's interpretation can bring forth a beauty that nature, in its raw state, may not readily offer. Through this lens, artists don't simply capture reality; we elevate it, seeking an essence or truth that might be obscured in nature's complex tapestry. Whistler's words remind us of the transformative power of creativity and encourage us to harness our unique perspectives, challenging not just what we see, but how we choose to depict it.
