Hello Everyone!I'm so glad to have found this site! I've been commissioned to create a very large (4ft x 7ft) Mural and have a few questions which hopefully some of you may assist me with.
I am going to be painting the mural right onto canvas in my studio and later it will be placed on the wall so that it may move with my client.
Therefore ...
1) Is it necessary to stretch the unprimed canvas?
If not ...
2) How should I go about priming the canvas without the gesso seeping through?
3) Lastly, what will be the best way to later hang the mural onto the wall: wallpaper method? Or, staple it to the wall?
I look forward to all your advise and wisdom ... I'm new to creating murals, I'm truly excited and so eager to learn!
Thank you ALL so much,
~ Maz
