Hi Happy Campers!
"Willow" is an adorable labradoodle that I had the privilege of painting for a Christmas present! My client sent a photo to work from that you see at the end of this 3 minute time lapse video and they picked the background color :-D
I show you a look at how the 1.5" deep gallery wrapped canvases look on the back. ALSO, that I write the word 'love' on the canvas before I start my paintings.
I use heavy body professional acrylic paints. Once the painting has dried for a few days I put on a gel gloss layer for more depth in the color and to seal it all up well. Depending on the weather, I then apply a UV protectant varnish.
Stretched canvas tip: If you canvas sags a little or someone stretches/dents it with their thumb carrying it, you can spray the back and let it dry. It will tighten back up. Repeat if necessary.
It is such an honor to paint someone's fuzzy loved one!
