I have a question about what more than toning the canvas or before toning the that I can do to reduce the absorbency of the canvas. Seems that overnight the paint has soaked I to the canvas. What would you suggest? Some of canvases are linen primed in acrylic….. they vary……
Thank you. Terri
Acrylic is very absorbent. Toning the canvas with a color and Neo Megilp will reduce the absorbancy. You can also give it a coat of gamblin oil ground which I like to do. oil primed linen is much less absorbant.
Hi Elizabeth,
I’m trying to figure out what type of hinge to use. Don’t recognize the ones you used. If you have the time could you send send a description for them. Much appreciated!

Great lesson! Do you stilll use the “Method” light? I like the idea of cool light but also like warm
light too for other paintings.
I only use the method light if I want to change the temperature of my light source. I’ll do another lesson on that soon
Very informative video! I like how you have two different sized shadow boxes. It would be great if you sold them.
They are so easy to make that I never thought about selling them. Im glad you found the video helpful!
