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.
A History of Canvas. Canvas is a heavy, closely woven fabric used for making sails, tents, covers, awnings and other functions where sturdiness is required. Typical weights range from 10 to 50 ounces per square yard. The word 'canvas' is derived from the Arabic word for cannabis, a Latin word meaning 'hemp'. In earlier times, hemp was popularly used to make canvas. Modern canvas is usually made of cotton, linen or synthetic materials. Canvas has a very simple weave - the weft thread just goes over one warp thread and under the next. Canvas is very hard-wearing, generally water-resistant.
