Canvas Experiments

So I decided that I will write down my results for my canvas experiments.

So it is definitely better to burn a canvas with a wood backing, the canvas alone burn through to easily and you lose you canvas. If you there is no wood backing(or any other material) you want to layer the surface with anything you can. Add more layers of thick gesso and pieces of canvas then more gesso. The canvas does get heaver but it will not burn through so quickly. You can also add sand and rocks mixed with gesso. it gives it a nice texture. If you but tar on the canvas and then burn the area  it will make a rock look... now if you put latex paint on top of the tar it will bubble up some... with your finger remove the black dust and you will see the texture. You can use a soft brush to brush it off but it will get rid of some of its texture and it will look washed out a bit. If you but rocks and burn the canvas will burn down and the rocks will become more visible to the eye. If you add oil paint and burn it...the oil areas will burn a lil different so you will be able to see where the oil was painted on compared to the rest of the canvas. Okay todays report is finished . Bye bye for now.
