The proper way to put hanging hardware on a canvas
If you are a professional artist you will already know that you must use sturdy D-ring hangers on the back of our completed canvas. First measure the height of our canvas and install the D-ring one third of the way down the canvas. It is very important to use good quality D-rings as it would be very embarrassing to have a client tell you that your hardware broke and the painting came tumbing to the floor. There are larger d-rings for really heavy paintings, that requre two screws to install. This week I found out that you can buy them in bulk at Desseres art supplies store in Ottawa, ON. If you purchas 100 d-rings it will cost you around eight dollars, which is an excellent deal. Remember artists, proper hanging hardware is an important element of your finished product, make sure its done right.
Amsterdam Acrylc Paints
Recently I purchased Amsterdam acrylic paint, which comes in tubes of 250ml and 500ml. I have been plesantly surprised about this line of paint products. First of all, I love the vibranbt colours and the perfect viscosity level, it comes out of the tube and onto the canvas in a good way. I like the packaging because it is impossible to lose the lid...it's attached. I would suggest giving this line of paint a try, I am enjoying using it.
