Oil Painting Technique – How To Tone a Canvas

July 11, 2010 by Ralph S Leave a Comment

Toning Your Canvas For Oil Painting

Learn the proper way to tone your canvas in preparation for oil paints with this free video demonstration.  Toning your canvas before beginning a painting is a very popular oil painting technique, but there is definitely a right and a wrong way to do it.  In the following video, artist Don Stewart demonstrates his method for toning his canvas before he completes a painting.  Don combines a mixture of medium and solvent to his oil paint to get it nice and thin before applying it to his canvas.  After allowing that to dry for several minutes, he then wipes away the excess with a clean rag.  The result is a nicely toned canvas with a luminous quality to it. Enjoy this oil painting demonstration!
