My show opens this week and we’re at the final step — getting the work to the gallery! All the canvases are now removed from the support panels they’ve been stapled to and are ready to go.
Here’s the process…
The canvases will be stacked, rolled, and flown to Julie Nester Gallery. Once there, they are given to a framer to be restretched. I love this system because it keeps the final painting lighter than if it were made directly on a panel. Plus, now my support panels at the studio are ready for a fresh blank canvas. My process keeps evolving, and I’m excited to see where it takes me next.
Do you have a similar process for preparing for a show, or do you have any special tips? Let me know in the comments.
The new show opens at Julie Nester Gallery on Saturday, July 27th with an opening reception at 6pm. If you’re in the area and can stop by, I’d love to see you!
This week on the Art2Life Podcast, we feature artist, designer and educator, Rukmini Podar. Her art journey explores diverse methods to create art and convey emotions effectively. We’re making art together as she shares the powerful project that got her started and continues to enrich her life. I hope you’ll join us this Wednesday.Tune in wherever you stream podcasts or grab a sketchbook and create with us while you watch on our YouTube Channel.
Have a great day in the studio!
