Gesso - 500ml

Regular price $24.99
Sale price $24.99 Regular price
In stock Low stock Unavailable
Gesso is a base coat used to prepare surfaces before painting for better grip. It protects and seals the substrate which prevents paint absorption, in other words, the paint will rest on top of the surface instead of getting sucked into it. The use of gesso is especially important when using oil paints; in direct contact with the fabric, oils can eat away at the cotton canvas over time. 
Tri-Art professional quality gesso is made with 100% acrylic emulsion and contains calcium carbonate. It is pH neutral and ideal for oil paintings and acrylics. It is waterproof when dry and does not crack, crumble, flake, or lift off the substrate.

•White and opaque
•Dries to a matte finish
•Can be sanded when dry
•Provides a reflective layer that enhances the vividness of colors.

To create a more textured finish, mix with modeling paste until the desired consistency is reached.

Additional information:

Gallery frame vs. regular frame
Gallery frames are generally deeper/thicker than regular frames. With the gallery frame, you can frame a gallery or regular profile canvas without the canvas sticking out the back. You also have the gallery photo frame with glass, which is deeper and will stand out more on your wall.

What is a floating frame?
As the name implies, a floating frame is designed in such a way that your artwork appears to float within the frame; it is not pressed behind a piece of glass. Because of this illusion, viewers gain a sense of 3D depth. Floating frames are particularly suitable for stretched canvases. Unlike traditional frames, floating frames feature a front-loading design; the canvas is dropped in from the front and secured in place from the rear. They allow you to see all the way to the edge of the artwork so none of it is obscured by the frame. If you’re looking for a gallery-style look, floating frames are your answer.

What is a mat?
A mat is a piece of cardboard (usually with an opening in the centre) that leaves a space between the photo and the frame. It is only suitable for paper artwork, not canvases. When a mat is used, there is usually a glass panel to protect the photo and the mat. Finally, when you see the words "acid-free or conservation", it means that the mat is archival quality and will not fade, yellow or alter the work over time.

Additional information:

Gallery frame vs. regular frame
A gallery frame is generally deeper and thicker than a regular frame. This added depth allows you to frame a gallery-wrapped or regular canvas without the canvas extending beyond the back of the frame.

A gallery photo frame with glass is also deeper than a standard frame, creating a more pronounced dimensional effect when displayed on the wall and helping enhance the artwork.

What is a floating frame?
A floating frame is designed to create the illusion that the artwork is floating inside the frame rather than being pressed behind a piece of glass. This presentation adds depth and highlights the details of the artwork.

Floating frames are especially suited for stretched canvases. Unlike standard frames, they are loaded from the front: the canvas is placed into the frame and secured from the back. This method allows the edges of the artwork to remain visible without any part being covered by the frame.

If you are looking for a gallery-style presentation for your canvases, a floating frame is an ideal choice for achieving a professional result.

What is a mat?
A mat is a piece of board, usually with a central opening, that creates space between the photo and the frame. It is suitable only for paper-based artwork, such as photos, drawings, and prints, and is not intended for canvases.

When a mat is used, glass is generally added to protect both the artwork and the mat. The terms “acid-free” or “conservation” indicate that the mat is archival quality and helps preserve the artwork by reducing yellowing, discoloration, and deterioration over time.

Matte Varnish - 3.78L

Regular price $179.99
Sale price $179.99 Regular price
In stock Low stock Unavailable
This 100% acrylic polymer varnish protects acrylic colour from harsh elements. Dries to a clear, non-tacky, hard, flexible surface that is resistant dirt retention and water when dry.  Of fluid viscosity, Liquitex varnish becomes transparent upon drying, stays smooth and does not yellow. 

  • 100% acrylic polymer varnish
  • Water soluble when wet
  • Good chemical and water resistance when dry
  • Non-tacky
  • Hard, yet flexible surface
  • Resistant to dirt retention
  • Resists discolouring due to humidity, heat and ultraviolet light (non-yellowing, non-fogging)
  • Depending upon substrate, allows moisture to pass through (breathable)
  • Not for use over oil paint
  • Protects acrylic colour
  • Archival
  • For interior and exterior use


Application

  • Apply as a final varnish over dry acrylic paint.
  • Varnish surface and environment must be clean, dry and dust free.
  • Acrylic paintings must be completely dried and cured for 48-72 hours before varnishing. Thicker acrylic applications may take more time to cure.
  • Application may be done by brush or spray. Generally a sprayed application will be thinner, smoother and more even. Rolling or sponging application is not recommended.
  
   
Caution: Acrylic paints and mediums become increasingly brittle in cold weather. Do not apply below 60°F. 


Tips & Techniques
  • Use a wide, soft hair brush. Generally, a 1 to 4 inch flat brush is used, depending on the surface area.
  • Apply Liquitex varnish in 1-3 thin coats, rather than 1 thick coat. A thick coat will take longer to dry, may dry cloudy, may drip or sag during application and has a greater chance of showing brush strokes when dry.
  • When applying Liquitex Matte Varnish, apply no more than 1-2 thin coats. A thick application may result in cloudiness when dry. If more than 2 coats are desired, first varnish with gloss varnish until desired thickness is achieved and then apply a final coat of matte varnish.
  • Canvas should be placed horizontally in order to prevent the varnish from running. After varnishing, the surface should be shielded with a protective "tent". This will prevent any dust or airborne particles from settling into varnish as it dries.
  • Apply Liquitex varnish in slightly overlapping pattern that covers entire artwork. Apply in horizontal and vertical brush strokes, so that entire area is evenly coated.
  • Do not rework areas you might miss as the brush could pick up partially dried varnish and cause clouding. If areas are missed, wait until the varnish is dry and apply another coat.

   
Spray Application: Use for textured surfaces (thick impasto, thick textures), where brush application may result in foaming and fragile surfaces (watercolor, tempera, graphite, pastel, gouache), where brush application may disrupt drawing or painted surface. 

Thinning: Do not thin, as it will weaken the varnish film and adhesion. 

Removal: Not removable. Do not attempt to remove these varnishes with harsh solvents. 

Tool care: Clean with soapy water while varnish is still wet.

Artists are using them with plaster, clay, and even frosting. Made of FDA-approved silicone, Catalyst Blades and Wedges are great for food crafting.
Clean-up is a breeze with Catalyst Blades and Wedges. The silicone is easy to wipe clean and is solvent resistant. Clean up in most cases can be done with mild soap and water. Dried paint can be peeled off the silicone surface. Catalyst blades can even be separated from their wood handles for cleaning and easily replaced when dry.

Our photo frames have a sleek, contemporary and welcoming designs blend that seamlessly with any decor, on a wall or table (depending on the size of the frame), placed horizontally or vertically. 

Additional information:

Gallery frame vs. regular frame
Gallery frames are generally deeper/thicker than regular frames. With the gallery frame, you can frame a gallery or regular profile canvas without the canvas sticking out the back. You also have the gallery photo frame with glass, which is deeper and will stand out more on your wall.

What is a floating frame?
As the name implies, a floating frame is designed in such a way that your artwork appears to float within the frame; it is not pressed behind a piece of glass. Because of this illusion, viewers gain a sense of 3D depth. Floating frames are particularly suitable for stretched canvases. Unlike traditional frames, floating frames feature a front-loading design; the canvas is dropped in from the front and secured in place from the rear. They allow you to see all the way to the edge of the artwork so none of it is obscured by the frame. If you’re looking for a gallery-style look, floating frames are your answer.

What is a mat?
A mat is a piece of cardboard (usually with an opening in the centre) that leaves a space between the photo and the frame. It is only suitable for paper artwork, not canvases. When a mat is used, there is usually a glass panel to protect the photo and the mat. Finally, when you see the words "acid-free or conservation", it means that the mat is archival quality and will not fade, yellow or alter the work over time.

DIY Creative Decorations: Make It, Personalize It, Display It

There's something deeply satisfying about decorating with something you made yourself. DeSerres brings together everything you need to bring that idea to life: chalk markers for bold lettering on any surface, modelling clays and air-dry compounds for sculptural objects, pouring mediums for fluid, abstract finishes, stencils and frames to customize, embroidery hoops for textile art, and a full range of varnishes, gessos, and mediums to prep, protect, and finish your work.

Where do you start with a DIY decoration project?

The best starting point is the surface or object you want to transform. A bare wooden frame, a plain canvas, an air-dry clay piece, a candle: each one opens up a different creative direction. Chalk markers work on glass, chalkboard, and wood without any prep. Modelling paste and gesso build texture on almost any surface before paint goes on. Pouring mediums create organic, flowing patterns with minimal technique required. And once your piece is finished, the right varnish seals and protects it for the long term.
