the round canvas

Canvas (traditional stretch) comes in many different sizes and shapes. Recently I acquired a round canvas with some other art materials and have discovered that canvas shape and size affects what image I will want to use, the design and also the materials for the piece. I am not always patient with regard to the development of a piece and I find that patience is worth the wait. The planning stage of a piece of artwork should begin with various sketches and reworks. As with writing, there may be many different versions of the same piece. John William Waterhouse's Mermaid seems to have undergone a few different versions before reaching it's vision.
