Unstretched canvas

Rock inspired and incorporating geological forms, my Runes paintings are made with acrylic and mixed media.

Caitlin Winner on Instagram: "Three reasons and a pro tip: 1. Painting unstretched gives me compositional flexibility. I can change the final dimensions of the painting as I work. It’s not uncommon that I add on to the bottom or crop in from the sides. I usually cut the canvas with a few inches of buffer on all sides to allow for these changes. 2.
