The four large blank canvases are prepared in my studio in Tsuen Wan. They are first stretched on the wall and painted with several coatings of gesso before attaching to canvas stretchers. These will then be transported to the gallery in Lan Kwai Fong.
I always make it a point to stretch the canvas on flat and smooth plywood walls, spray with water evenly and allow to dry. This will prepare the surface neatly and smoothly without wrinkles for the gesso application. And just like buying and using pre-coated canvases, this approach will allow the canvas to be neatly wrapped around the wooden canvas stretchers especially when some people prefer not to use frames when hanging paintings on the wall.
