What is the best kind of canvas for someone to paint on my wall?

I want a friend of mine, a graffiti writer, to come to my apartment and put up some really nice pieces throughout my apartment. At the same time, I would like to still keep my deposit. What is the best kind of canvas for this? I want something that will be easy to hang, and manageable both size and price wise, because I think I would like it to go around my apartment. Also what kind of prices would I be looking at?What is the best kind of canvas for someone to paint on my wall?
If you want the graffiti to totally surround your room how about hanging a heavier canvas from tack boards (you would have to put them up) by the rooms ceiling edges .. tack the canvas to these boards and be sure to test the area first to make sure your friend 's paint isn't bleeding through the fabric and getting on the original walls...





If you don't want to repair from removing the tack boards try self adhesive velcro strips ...you can attach one side to the wall and the other to the canvas ...if he stays with spray paints it should not bleed through ...(so you could avoid having to prep the canvas) but open the windows for ventalation and get a fan going to help with the fumes and to speed the drying along





Taking the easiest way would be stay with readymade canvas


in say 36';x30 or whatever fits your wall and have him work on that scale...pop a nail and hang it. No mess no stress...What is the best kind of canvas for someone to paint on my wall?
Well, there is only one type of canvas. It's called 'canvas'. You can purchase pre-stretched canvasses that are already on a a wood frame, but these are cheap and crappy and will warp. The best thing to do is have an artist make you one. They will have all the tools and stretching abilities to do this. For a 4 feet x 4 feet square canvas, you are looking at about $200 for materials and labour.
The artist can buy pre-stretched canvas of any standard size or the canvases can be stretched. If he's used to grafitii and painting directly on the wall, he may need to do some research to change to canvas. Figure out the spaces that you want to fill and figure size that way.


If he goes this route, you can move the art with you.


Also, he can paint at his home or outside, so he doesn't hurt your apartment.


The charge? Depends on a lot of things? Size.. how many?


His experience...........If he is not experienced and knows very little about how to charge... you may pay for supplies and agree to an hourly figure.


Hope this helps
Interesting, I would suggest you buy pre-primed and stretched canvases. For example have the artist to lay the canvas side by side, not in your apt. In their studio and approach it as if they were doing graffiti on the wall. Once the art is finished separated each canvas and mount it on your wall separating the canvas panels 3 to 4 inches from the other.





I suggest using small pin nails with hooks about an inch long you can find at any hardware store. You should find it at the same place you purchase the canvas also.
