So now all eight canvases have been stretched. What a job! I had no idea. Each one is 48" by 66". Here is what I have learned for the future:
I need a set of canvas pliers.
Unprimed canvas is probably a lot easier to stretch than pre-primed canvas.
If I can pay someone to stretch the canvas for me, no matter what the cost, it is worth the $$.
Each canvas took me at least an hour to stretch. Some of the wood took the staples very easily. Other pieces of wood made the staples just crinkle up, and they wouldn't go in. I went through a box and a half of staples.
Thankfully, they are FINALLY done, and I have begun drawing the grids on them, so I can transfer my small design to the much larger mural.
