Choosing Your Next Canvas
Thursday, May 12, 2011
Recently I had a conversation with a woman who wanted ideas on how to finish a canvas. The canvas was done by Anne Ryan. Anne Ryan was a collage artist who started doing collage in her late 50’s. She died in her early 60’s. But in that short time span, she was able to finish 400 art pieces. The woman wanted ideas for NO334 Anne Ryan Collage. When I looked at it I suddenly saw a crazy quilt. What fun it would be to do the patches and then add the stitches holding the patches together. Couching the thread onto the canvas so it gave the stitched work some depth. Trying all of those new stitches I have been meaning to add to a canvas piece.
When you start looking for that next canvas, close your eyes and try to see it done. Do you like it? Is it the right size? Are the colors what I want? How excited are you to start it? Can I do fun stitches? Ask yourself these questions when you are purchasing just the right canvas. You may be surprised by some of your answers.
