Got a dent in your stretched canvas?

by Claude

I know that I shouldn't rest my hand on the canvas when I am painting but... Well Sometimes I do. If you are like me and just don't want to go and get a Mahl stick sometimes,and you have a dent in the canvas from where you leaned a little too heavily on the canvas, here's a simple way to fix it.

Take a moist paper towel. From the back side of the canvas, just dab the dented area with the moistened paper towel. You just want to moisten it, not soak it!!!! Let it sit. The water will shrink the canvas back to a taut position if you do it right.
Hope it helps
