Tips on Oil Painting - Canvas Stretching
If you find that commercial pre-stretched canvas is too expensive or if you are just interested, you can make your own canvases. You can buy rolls of primed or raw canvas in various sizes and qualities. Once bought, the first thing to do is to stretch a canvas of a desired size using stretcher bars.
The stretching process is fairly straightforward. You will need to buy stretcher bars. You can find them in any serious art supply store or on the Internet. Stretcher bars have tongue-and-groove corners and are usually 1.25 or 2.5 inches wide. You can order them in various lengths up to 72 inches.
To make one canvas you will need 2 sets of 2 equal bars. All four bars should fit together tightly and no nails are used. After you have assembled the stretcher, use a T-square to check if the four corners are square.
Now, stretching a piece of canvas involves the following steps:
1) Center the stretcher on top of a piece of canvas that is 1.5 inches larger that the stretcher on all sides.
2) Fold the canvas around a set of two opposing bars. Using a tack (usually included with each set of bars) fasten one side of the canvas to the center of the bar.
Then stretch the canvas by hand or with canvas pliers and tack the other side in the middle of the other bar. A straight line in the form of a crease running from one tack to the other should now be visible.
3) Next, repeat the procedure of 2) with the two other opposing sides of the canvas. A diamond shaped pattern should now be visible.
4) From here on, you continue from the middle of one of the bars and add a tack every 3 inches or so until you reach the corners. At the corners, nicely fold one end of the canvas under the other end and fasten this corner piece onto the bar with another tack.
Do not trim excess canvas. Instead, fold it over the back of the stretcher and tack it down just in case you need to re-stretch the canvas in the future.
5) If you notice any wrinkles in the canvas, you can remove one or two tacks in the right places, pull the canvas taut, and replace the tacks. To remove small uneven areas in the canvas, moisten the back of the area and let the canvas dry.
6) Usually the stretcher bars come with a set of so-called keys, i.e., small wooden wedges. These keys fit into slots at the inner corners of the stretchers and if necessary will further tighten the canvas. However, it is best to wait and see if the canvas actually slackens over time. If so you can pound the keys into slots at that time.
Note that nowadays, most artists use staples and a staple gun to fix the canvas to the stretcher. This approach is quicker and more convenient. However, for the sake of permanence and stability, it is still a good idea to use a regular tack in the middle of each of the bars.
Finally, when a painting is finished you may want to loosely place a sheet of cardboard inside the back of the stretcher. This will protect the back of your canvas.
Once you are used to the procedure, stretching a canvas goes fairly quickly. It is quite a bit cheaper than buying pre-stretched canvas. However, there still remains the task of priming the canvas in case you bought a roll of raw canvas. But, as far as stretching a canvas in concerned, this is all there is to it.

Can you use oil paints when painting canvas sneakers?
I was wondering if I can use oil paints on canvas sneakers and how do I go about prepping sealing the shoe to preserve the final product.
Also are there any tutorials for doing painting the sneakers?
Don't do that. The paint will not weather well.It will crack plus, you can't protect it with what will need to be an accompanying OIL based varnish...and have it remain flexible. (Oil varnish would for SURE crack).
Use acrylic and paint a base coat in white acrylic first.
Let that base coat fully dry.
Then paint designs in acrylic.
When that dries, go over that paint with the accompanying colors of glitter/plasticized translucent fabric paint to render the paint flexible. (so over your yellow--for instance --acrylic paint, you'd go over that dried paint with yellow sheer glittery fabric paint. It goes on looking milky. Fear not. It will dry birlliant and sheer and completely enhance the colors)
Then, once that is dry, go over all the painted canvas with a clear acrylic gloss medium to secure the integrity of the plasticized craft paint and also add to the water resistance.
***
TIP:
Just DON'T put the top-coat of clear acrylic gloss medium on the rubber part(toe etc) of shoe--it will not adhere and will eventually get dirty and peel right off.
***
I know this is a multi step and tedious seeming procedure but, really, it's worth it.
The shoe will now be flexible, water resistant and the colors will jump out. (When you apply the craft paint, it will SEEM like the craft paint is not sheer but--let it dry. You'll see! It makes the colros absolutely POP!)
Here--check out Converse sneakers I painted in berlin (last april), using the method I described above...8 months later...they are still looking and feeling GREAT after wearing them a lot and in the rain.

I also painted jeans in this exact same manner.
Check those out.
Of course, with jeans, one must do one side. Let that dry completely, then, paint the other side.
I have worn these jeans TONS of times and washed them inside out in cold water on gentle setting (inside out to wash so paint does not abrade), and hung them out to dry also inside out because air has to dry the denimn...then...you have to flip them right side out to dry the painted side.
(It's a bit tedious even caring for these jeans but--they're wearable art=> worth it!)
OK-check these jeans out...one of a kind on the planet like this.

Good luck with your shoes. I look forward to seeing them when they're done. Will you share with me a pic of them when you finish them please?
Thanks
