I have been a bit of a plonker as Del-Boy used to say.... I have been given several large canvas's and I stood them on their edge prior to use, unbeknown to me when I moved them this morning I noticed I have a small dent/crease in one of them where a piece of cardboard had fell in between them , I think this may not be noticeable if I include it in an area of rocks that I will be painting... However I was wondering if any of you who are more experienced in using canvases can tell me a way of hiding this crease/dent, I was wondering if I gave the whole canvas several coats of Gesso it would tighten up the canvas and not be so noticeable... Any information/help much appreciated... Phil

Trouble is that all manufacturers mix their paint to different levels of consistency and, in this case, shade.  Without knowing what's in Galeria Permanent Rose (it's not a paint I use, unfortunately) it's a job to think of a helpful answer.  The roses I've got, apart from a very old tube of rose madder genuine, are all variations on Quinacridone Red or Quin. Violet - and even there, while most are transparent, one is, if not opaque, less transparent than the others.  <div> </div><div>I had a similar issue with Winsor and Newton Sap Green - not a colour I use often - theirs was just completely different from Sap Green in any other medium: I used it quite extensively at one point, though - it's a gorgeous colour; just not what I was expecting.  </div>
