Oil Paint
Hello all!
I know it is best practice for oil paintings to be made on a rigid substrate, to reduce the cracking you get with a flexible surface that also reacts to humidity and temperature changes over time. This would include painting on a wood panel, hardboard, aluminium and paperboard, with a well sized and primed surface, with or without a layer of canvas on the top or muslin embedded in a genuine gesso ground.
But, is there anything that can be done to help make a more permanent painting when a rigid substrate cannot be used, as with large paintings where a lightweight surface is required? What is best practice for oil painting on a stretched canvas?
Thank you for any help.

This is a huge question. Please read through our downloadable
PDFs on regid supports, flexible supports, sizing, and grounds found in our “Resources”
