Call Richard 805 895 5121 See: /. Haskins @MrPhil102 Yes, this is often a conversation I have with people and I can understand their point. But think also about the fact that a lot of art that is worth nothing today may have some meaning/value in the future. Is a question for future generations/collectors. My mantra is to respect and treat all art correctly/safely without thinking of the value. You may be able to find an art conservator that would be willing to trade something for a quick repair of a small hole.
Haskins @CodingBabe Thanks for the 'testimonial.' Even if you get the patch off, if you leave behind a substantial layer of glue (from the patch) then that can continue the puckering/cracking/problems. But be careful. Try and see if removing the patch by yourself will cause more damage than leaving it alone. Its a judgement call. If you have a painting conservator in your area, maybe he/she would be available to coach you for free? Remember, we are talking about your own, newish paintings, not old art.
Haskins @LezleyDavidson. So, about linings: Lining methods take into consideration the painting technique and materials, age etc. Its not a restoration process that lends itself to a do-it-your-selfer in the garage. Lining costs vary depending on how frayed the fabric is at the rip or if reweaving techniques to realign threads is required.
If the art isn't of much value or if you are an artist and have ripped a painting, perhaps you could find an art conservator who would trade you for the lining?

Lay the painting face-down on a clean surface. Use an acid-free glue ('white' craft glue) to adhere the repair fabric.
A or a such as matte or gel medium also works well as glue. Apply a thin, even layer of glue, gesso, or medium to the patch and place it over the tear. If the tear is underneath the stretcher bars you might want to use a spatula to put the repair fabric in place. Avoid the temptation to apply too much glue; it will simply squeeze out the edges and create a mess. A small piece of cardboard or plastic credit card works well to spread the glue or medium over the surface of the fabric.

Check the alignment of the edges of the tear. While the glue is still wet, push any loose threads into place as much as you can with something small such as a pair of tweezers, needle, fine scissors, or toothpick. You may not be able to get every bit of thread neatly arranged; those you can cut off when the glue has dried. Try to avoid getting glue on the front of the. Put a bit of paper or thin card over it, then place another book on top of the repair and leave it flat to dry. You can also turn the canvas over so that it is face down and put a book on the site of the repair to flatten it while it dries. Once the medium has dried, you may want to gently sand it.
Then, using the same medium as the original painting, carefully match the colors of the original. It is easier to do this if you use a very small brush. Load the brush with the color that you have mixed and hold it up close to the painting to see if it matches the original color. Make sure to also match the texture of the original painting. If it is a very textural painting you have the advantage of hiding the tear with texture in the painting.
You can also collage over the site of the repair if you are doing a collage and mixed-media piece.
This tutorial will teach you how to paint an ombre canvas painting in 5 easy steps. You can use the ombre design as a background for quotes or lyrics, to create the look of a sky, or hang it right on the wall! I am in the (long) process of rewriting all the DIY posts that were lost when the blog crashed.
Fortunately, this one should be easy, because I made a YouTube tutorial video to accompany the post! It’s probably easiest to watch the video, but I’ve also got step-by-step instructions and links to products below. This tutorial is pretty simple. Follow it and you’ll have an ombre background in 5 minutes! Here’s what you’ll need.:. (look for one that is back-stapled rather than side-stapled).
(choose two contrasting colors that you can use right out of the tube. For this tutorial I used and ). (this will make the paint dry slower- it’s not necessary but if this is your first time painting it will make the process easier). 2 wide bristle. (or a paper plate). Jar of water.
Drop cloth or cardboard to keep area clean. (optional- my favorite is Krylon’s Satin finish, which you can get at Hobby Lobby or other major craft stores).Amazon links are provided to the products I use when possible.
Get Started Lay down your drop cloth and change your clothes– this could get messy! Squeeze out a big pile of each color of paint separately on your pallet. Add a squirt of the retarder to each paint color if you’re using it. Keep the jar of water handy to put your used brushes into. Step 1: Start with your lighter color paint and your wide paint brush. Using even, horizontal strokes, paint the lighter color on the bottom 1-2 inches of the canvas. Paint along the bottom edge as well.
Try to load the paint on thick and allow the excess paint to gather on the sides of the canvas. This will make it easier to paint the sides later!
Always paint in the same direction, horizontally. Step 2: Add a small amount of color #2 (blue) to color #1 (white) on the pallet. Add this color just above color #1 and begin to blend back and forth into color #1, until you can’t notice a line between the two.
Remember, always move in even, horizontal strokes. Keep moving the brush back and forth on the canvas until the colors are blended seamlessly. Step 3: Continue this process the entire way up the canvas: add a little more of color #2 (blue) and work it into color #1 (white) using even, horizontal strokes.
Continue this until you reach the top– the top should have the full strength color #2 (blue). Paint the top edge with color #2.
Step 4: Take your second clean brush and begin to pull the excess paint over the sides. This will give the canvas a polished look and ensure that the paint color on the sides matches the paint color on the front. Work with even strokes and always move from top to bottom— don’t switch from a lighter section to a darker section of the canvas or you’ll mess up the ombre effect! You can use another clean brush or wipe the excess paint off your brush and go over the sides one last time to be sure they’re blended evenly. Step 5: Allow your canvas to dry entirely (should take 10-30 minutes depending on how thick you painted).
Touch up the top and bottom sides as necessary, but be warned– don’t touch up the front of the canvas! It is extremely difficult to match the exact color, and if you try you’re bound to mess up the ombre effect. Trust me, I speak from experience. Step 6 (optional): After the canvas is completely dry, you can add a quote or lyrics to it.

See for help with this. Once you’ve added all you want to the canvas, give it a polished look and protect it with 2-3 coats of your varnish spray.
