What To Do With The Sides Of A Canvas

You have finished a painting and are now wondering what to do with the sides of the canvas. In the video below, I explore a couple of different options of what to do with the sides of the canvas after you have finished the painting or even while you are working on it

It can be intimidating at times to know what the best option for your painting is. I would suggest either continuing the painting over the sides (for canvases with large sides) or choosing a solid colour from the painting and creating a solid border (for canvases with small sides).

Let me know how you finish the sides of your paintings in the comments below!

The painting in the video is called Mule Deer in the Brush. It’s an acrylic painting on a 24×24 inch stretched canvas. The original is for sale here on my website and prints are available by contacting me.
