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.

Art is not to be taught in Academies. ♦ Francisco de Goya

One of the most celebrated figures in Spanish art, Francisco de Goya stood at the crossroads of the old masters and the onset of modern art. His work, characterized by bold technique and expressive content, often carried undertones of social commentary and personal reflection. The essence of this quote captures a sentiment that defines not only Goya's approach but also a broader perspective about artistry itself.

Art, in its purest form, emerges from the soul, the experiences, and the emotions of the creator. While academies and institutions can instruct on techniques and provide historical contexts, the essence of artistry, the spirit that drives each of us, is deeply personal. As artists, we understand that while the technical skills can be honed in structured environments, the heart and passion that imbue our work with life come from within. It is our unique perspectives and individual experiences that shape our work, ensuring that no two pieces, even with similar themes, are ever truly identical.

Goya's assertion serves as a gentle reminder for us to trust our instincts, to value our unique voices, and to recognize that while knowledge can be shared, creativity must be nurtured from within. The heart of our craft lies not in formal lessons but in the countless moments of inspiration that spark our imagination.
