On the morning of 25 March 2012, Gould died from the leukaemia. Ridgewell and Hargreaves announced Gould's death in a short video R.I.P Edd Gould (1988â2012) on 27 March 2012. At the closing screen, Ridgewell stated that Edd may be gone, but his world will keep on spinning.
The frame sits on the edge of the stretched canvas, like it would on a canvas board, and there is no need to protect it with glass. If, for some reason, the canvas stretchers have become warped, you can remove the finished painting and remount it, either on new stretchers or on a rigid support.
Center your frame on the canvas. Lay the canvas out flat on your work surface and center the frame on top of it. Take a minute to smooth out and clean up the canvas as much as possible before you get started. 1  Make sure that the grain of the canvas is lined up straight with the stretcher bars on the frame. Rotate the canvas and frame, or move around the table to the opposite side and do the same thing. 2  Pull the canvas tight, fold it over the frame, and insert three more staples into the stretcher bar on the opposite side.
