Perfect For:
This versatile canvas is ideal for artists who appreciate the superior working properties of linen but require the practical benefits of cotton. The medium texture provides a subtle grain that enhances brushwork while still allowing for detailed techniques. The professional-grade surface is particularly well-suited for oil and acrylic painting, and excels in portrait, landscape, and figurative work where a balanced texture is desired.
Usage Information:
Each 1 qty = 1 metre in length, with 1.7m wide artist/art canvas. For example, if order 2 metre length medium texture canvas, you will get a canvas roll dimension of 1.7m (Width) x 2m (Length).
Our triple primed surface accepts all painting media immediately, with no additional preparation required. The balanced absorbency of the linen-cotton blend creates excellent paint adhesion while maintaining the appropriate level of tooth for various techniques from glazing to impasto.
Why Artists Choose Linen-Cotton Blend:
Pure linen canvas is prized for its superior painting surface but comes at a premium price, while cotton canvas offers affordability but may lack some of linen's finer qualities. Our carefully engineered blend delivers the best attributes of both materials - the distinctive texture and archival properties of linen combined with the stability and value of cotton.
Conservation Note:
This premium canvas is crafted with archival-quality materials, making it suitable for gallery and museum-quality work. The triple priming creates an acid-free barrier that helps protect your artwork from the canvas fibres while providing an ideal surface for paint adhesion and longevity.
