I learned so much from this post. Please thank Simon for sharing his procss and thank you for documenting it Rajiv! ❤

I will be using the angled staples from now on! Thank you!

This is SO interesting & beautiful! Simon in a Beachcomber TShirt. Hello from Cape Cod :)

Shout out from Rio! Love your content!😍

Beautiful in every way! Thank you!

Wow! Fantastic! Thank you for sharing! It is the way I was taught.

i love your channel,thank you

My favorite cousin! That's how it feels, when I hear your voice. These stretchers are themselves, works of art for the beautiful paintings they support.

Amazing! Thank you both ❤

I’ve been to New York so many times, but never SoHo. I’ve always wanted to visit, it looks so fascinating and beautiful architecturally. Imagine seeing it in real life through your own lens. Great video Rajiv, I love your energy and appreciation for life and your surroundings. Also love the way how this video was filmed.

I agree- why not make the ordinary everyday special--why wait. Thanks. 🎈

This is very helpful. As I recently completed my first canvas painting. Searching for a frame and wondered if maybe leaving it stretched and unframed might add character. Seeing this realize both are important. And it’ll need restretch over time. ❤ Thank you

💖

This is a video I really appreciate! Thank you! 😊

Thank you for this amazing content, Rajiv!

Thanks Rajiv. I would love to tag along and have fun with you for a whole day--it would be so magical to see all those living artisans in action-in real time. Thanks for thinking about all the details including the very last part with those canvases that are primed. You should create your own magic--like Sylvester Stallone wrote his own script and so did Barbra Streisand--if you want to act in films. But what you are doing is excellent. You are like this truly special person. Priceless like all those paintings. 🎈 I could watch you all day. Best.

Fascinating to watch a master at work!

Wow another informative video. Thank you Rajiv and Simon for sharing your wisdom and talents. ❤️🙏❤️

Thank you, Rajiv, for yet another beautiful video. I did a small watercolour today. Now it's stupid o'clock in the morning but my brain has gone nice and quiet, I'll be going to bed soon... Thank you.

as a nyc artist i love this thank you! i'd love to stop by simon's shop sometime~

Awesome video, thanks Rajiv!!

I so appreciate learning from all the experts Rajiv has filled his life with. Goals!

This is a fantastic video! Thank you so much! ❤️

I swear I can actually SEE your hair growing from the start of this video to the end. Thank you for another charming utterly fascinating video.

One of the best videos!

Thank you for this fascinating video, Rajiv and thank you, Simon for sharing your knowledge with us. I'm a schoolteacher who also happens to love thrifting paintings and frames from antique and thrift stores and had never realized the behind-the-scene intricacies of framing/ stretching a painting. You continually widen my horizons and for that I'm truly grateful.

What a fabulous vlog. Love when you do these tours. This was so interesting to see all the different steps. Thank you so much for sharing.

I hope you never stop making content

That was very educational 👏👏👏🕊️💚☘️🇮🇪

It immediately struck me, when you initially talked about painting this portrait, how much it is reminiscent of the incredible ancient Roman portraits. You seem to have captured the magic and spirit of those artists, in your painting. Your skill is amazing. 🌺🌻

Soo humble! Knowledgeable and very very unassuming!

❤

Simon is a master artisan. I thoroughly enjoyed watching and learning about this process.

What is white material understanding each staple ? Love your videos Rajiv.

Just wonderful information. And I like his ethical methods!!

This is so interesting to learn the proper way to stretch a canvas. Wow!

Yes, I learned most of this in my art program except details like the white strip however we did turn the staple. Love that space (though I have never visited) Thank you for this vlog

This was so interesting, thank you for the behind-the-scenes/painting! I have a painting that my uncle did that needs stretching, and now I’ll know what I should expect from an artisan. Have a great day!

Awesome info. I'm interested in how you will finish mounting the painting into its frame, Rajiv.

OMG! I just realized.... You are the modern day Mr. Rogers!! I meant that as a compliment. Like when he (Mr. Rogers)went around to places to show us what they do. Whoa

Big thank you to Simon for taking the time to make this video with Rajiv. Behind the scenes videos are my favorite to watch.

fascinating! I have a huge section of art canvas I want to make use of for painting and this gives me the confidence to finally attempt to stretch it

Fabulous demonstration! Thank you!

I love field trip days 🤍

liked seeing this but man with staples... thats a big no for many artist..

This is a very special video indeed. I never knew what went into framing a painting before so thank you for such an interesting insight today. And I loved the expertise and love that Simon put into the process.

As a fine art framer, I’m so thrilled to see this video - ethical and informative. I would never cut a painting either. Simon is correct, you always need the artist’s permission. This is wonderful! 💝

I was mesmerized! Thank you Simon! I jusr went through a nightmare job because I took it to a framer. I foolishly tried to fix it myself and needless to say 😢.

Really fascinating. Fun to learn and understand something new.

Wow, I didn't know about these things. I always wondered how they preserve those famous paintings like the one in Louvre as so many tourists visit. That was generous of Simon to share his knowledge with us. Thank you Rajiv for taking us yet on another wonderful journey of creativity.
