How do I make art canvas frames on a low budget? Which basic tools are required, and which wood is best to use
I need to make the frames with a view to stretching canvas over them, priming them and using them as artists canvasses, for paintings and the like.
Initually if you want to produce a lot of work at a low price
Go to the lumber yard and buy wood in bulk.
Buy the paint and Gesso in large buckets
Buy the canvas in a roll.
Get a staple gun.
If you just plan to do three or four small easel sized painting its better to buy them ready made.

Is there anyway to transfer a photograph onto art stretched canvas?
Is this possible? Thanks!
So this isnt possible to do yourself? Just by a professional?
I have heard that you can buy canvas sheets that you can run through a printer, but stretching it then would be a problem.
Otherwise, at your local craft store you should be able to find something called “transfer medium” there will be instructions with it, but basically its a gell that you can brush onto a photocopy of your photo and then place onto your canvas to transfer the photo. Hope that helps

Can I use primer for wall paint as canvas painting primer?
I know this sounds pretty silly but I have a lot of primer left from painting a wall in my room and I really don’t want to waste it. Since I paint acrylic paint I’m wondering if I can use the left over primer for wall as my canvas acrylic painting primer. Primer I have is from Glidden and it says “Interior PVA Drywall Primer & Sealer”. Any idea??
Thanks a bunch in advance!
I wouldn’t use it on canvas or linen because it is less elastic and Will Crack. Only use gesso designed for this purpose.
I also would suggest you use pre-primed canvas already stretched whenever you can to eliminate poor stretching and out of square corners.
I’ve been an artist 45 years and am a professional framer for 30 and one of the most common problems I have with artists stretching their own canvases are that they are usually out of square and mis-measured canvases. For example if the artist intended to make a 20″x24″ and the measurement actually is 20 1/4″ x 23 7/8″ x 19 7/8″ x 24 1/8″. It makes it near impossible to frame. I usually have to re-stretch it at additional cost to the artist or make a custom frame instead of a less expensive readymade size.
If you must stretch your own for an odd size or very large size, using at least factory primed canvas or linen will give you a consistent even start. You can be sure that it is primed in an archival manner and will last for decades and maybe even centuries.
