What artist canvas buyers ask us
What weight cotton duck for stretched artist canvas?
7 to 12 oz (about 230–390 g/m²) covers most stretched and roll canvas. Portrait-grade fine canvas runs lighter and finer; heavy scenic and floor canvas runs heavier.
Do you prime the canvas?
We supply it RFD. Acrylic gesso and universal priming run through partner units, or the maker primes in their own line.
