The painting came direct from the artist rolled up in a tube.
The customer wants me to stretch as normal.

Re: Cracked Oil Painting
ARTIST ERROR
The artist used too small a tube and it was rolled with the paint side in vs out.

Re: Cracked Oil Painting
I can't believe they're still getting that framed!
Re: Cracked Oil Painting
Is that a newly painted work?
That sort of cracking is more symptomatic of older stuff. I would venture to say that
the artist is a bit too heavy handed with the turps his/her mixtures. Not enough oil can produce that effect. The oil
is the binder.
That's if it is an oil. Acrylic can crack like that.

Re: Cracked Oil Painting
The cracks will only get worse as you stretch it.

Re: Cracked Oil Painting
The owner needs to send it back to the artis and get a refund. If you try and stretch it it becomes your problem. Don't touch it would be my advice.
