Note to Potential Art Collectors:

If you are thinking about adding artwork from my collection to your own, please keep the following in mind:
1. Canvas Only Shipping: The artworks are shipped as unframed canvases. The frames shown in the images are custom-built from solid wood for studio use, so you will need to mount the canvas on your own frame upon receiving it.
2. Viewing Experience: Please be aware that lighting on digital screens (phones or computers) can make the artwork look brighter and more reflective. In person, the painting may appear slightly softer, with less contrast and color intensity than what you see on a backlit screen.

Instructions for Assembling Your Rolled-Up Painting

Assembling your painting on stretcher bars is a simple and satisfying process. Follow these step-by-step instructions to achieve a professional result effortlessly:

What You’ll Need
The rolled-up painting (included)
Stretcher bars in the correct size (not included)
A stapler or small nails with a hammer
Optional: Canvas pliers for extra tension
Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Unroll the Painting.
Carefully unroll the painting on a clean, flat surface.
Allow it to rest for a few hours to remove any curling from being rolled.

2. Assemble the Stretcher Bars.
Take the stretcher bars and click the corners together. They are designed to fit snugly, so no nails or additional tools are required for assembly.
Ensure the frame is perfectly squared before proceeding.

3. Position the Painting.
Place the assembled stretcher frame face down on the back of the painting.
Center the painting over the frame, ensuring the edges of the artwork align evenly with the frame edges.

4. Stretch the Painting.
Starting with one side, fold the edge of the canvas over the stretcher bar and secure it with a staple or nail in the center.
Repeat on the opposite side, pulling the canvas gently to ensure it is taut but not overstretched.
Do the same for the remaining two sides.

5. Secure the Corners.
Once all sides are secured in the center, move toward the corners. Fold the canvas neatly at each corner and secure with staples or nails.

6. Tighten the Canvas.
Go back around the frame, adding additional staples or nails along each side, working outward from the center.
Use canvas pliers if necessary to ensure a smooth and tight stretch.

7. Tips for Success.
Take your time to ensure the painting is centered before securing it.
Use even tension when stretching the canvas to avoid wrinkles.
If adjustments are needed, remove a few staples or nails and re-stretch as necessary.
