Artists have traditionally stretched canvas to create blank frames for painting. Canvas cloth is nailed or stapled over canvas stretcher bars, which link together easily to form a solid rectangle.

What is a stretched canvas?

Stretched canvas is when the canvas portrait is stretched over & around wooden stretcher bars. The display result is a frameless stunning portrait, just like in a gallery.Stretching is convenient because then you just take your portrait out of the box and hang it immediately!Portraits are stretched on 1 1/2" stretcher bars.All of our pet portraits come with "Gallery Borders". This means that when your portrait is wrapped over the stretcher bars, the edges of your portrait will have color rather than bare canvas.

How can you paint on both sides of a canvas Have a canvas and want to put stretch canvas on back so I can paint on both sides for a wall partion?

I would stretch 2 canvases separately and then attach them back-to-back, then maybe trim the edges for a finished look. If you need it thinner stretch onto both sides of stretcher bars and trim the second canvas to not overlap the front of the other side, then again, trim for a finished look - maybe hot glue a nice ribbon that matches your decor?

I know there are print lab companies do print pictures on a canvas. But is there any way that you can do it by yourself instead of ordering to those labs?

If you have a pigment printer like an Epson SureColor printer, you can. You put canvas in your printer, load the ICC profile for the canvas you are using on your computer, and print. You might not want to though; the canvas has to be six inches larger in both directions than the finished print, because three inches on each side wraps around the stretcher bars. If you want an 11x14 canvas print, you need to print a canvas 17x20. They make printers that big, but they're expensive.
