Paging OT artists- canvas question

quote:

---

Once a painting has been done on canvas, can you remove the wooden support (in order to transport easier) and then have it re-stretched back onto the wood?

Yes, you can. Pretty standard practice. If you aren't comfortable re-stretching it yourself, take it to a gallery/art supply store/or framing shop. They'll do it for you.

You might consider taking it to one of those places before you remove it from the canvas. The type of paint used, thickness, etc. can factor in. Just FYI.
