About the Technique
Masa Paper on Canvas - This technique follows preparing and painting Masa Paper but instead of framing I attached the finished image to a blank framed canvas. The Masa paper needs to be cut to wrap around the canvas, using glue diluted with a small amount of water which covers the canvas, placed down on carefully laid out image. No creases allowed! This idea, which was a personal idea and choice, works well. It reduces the framing cost, is lighter and much easier to pack/handle and can therefore appeal. I use front-load plain black (or white) frames. The images are sprayed several times with Krylon Clear Satin spray to protect them, instead of using glass.
