The canvas fabric is pre-primed ready for painting and free of harmful solvents. | We recommend canvases for artists with high demands on material, quality standards and production conditions.
THE WEDGE FRAME BARS: Profile thickness of 19x35mm (side height x width). Come from sustainable forestry. The wood is free of knots & resin pockets and provides a solid, dimensionally stable base for covering. We manufacture the stretcher frames traditionally with the typical outer bead, which prevents the canvas from lying on the stretcher frame wood and thus enables an even application of paint. The stretcher frame construction makes it possible to adjust the tension of the canvas by wedging.
THE CANVAS FABRIC: Has a medium fine structure and is double pre-treated with Gesso Universal Primer. In order to achieve an even, durable tensioning result and insensitivity to external influences such as humidity and temperature, we use a ±280g/m² strong blended fabric made of 70% cotton with 30% polyester, which is stitched on the back. Suitable for painting techniques with acrylic paints, gouache, oil paints and light spatula techniques.
MANUFACTURED IN GERMANY: Made using stretcher frame mouldings from certified sustainable European forestry and fine painting ground from Italy.
