Question
Hi,
)
How can I create a "curling up" of the corners on a canvas, in the same way of painting on brown craft paper? Is this possible? I talked about this in my last question, but I'd love to find some type of gloss or whatever that could curl the corners of the canvas up in such a way that would make it look "rustic" or vintage, but without messing up the paint? Help, please.
Thank you!
Hello....do an experiment first on unpainted canvas. Put water on the back side of one corner....and then roll it toward the center of the canvas [two or three tight rolls....then use some type of clasp [even a paper clip or plastic clothes pin] and let it dry....
Then check it to see if the corner stays curled. It should work.
Best....
