Michelle,

Besides the various canvas-clips you can buy for that purpose, here's a tip I learned from Peggy:

The night before you want the canvas to be dry, spray with retouch varnish. It will be nearly or completely dry (depending on several factors) the following morning. Just make sure you're not spraying on completely wet, fresh paint, or the spray "melts" the painting.

You're all going to have such a remarkable time studying with Whitaker. I can't wait to see the post-workshop flurry.

Other than that, bring business cards and hand them out to everyone who inquires about the painting you're carrying on-board. A nearly-dry canvas has to be a great conversation source.
