Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between cotton and linen canvases?
Cotton canvases are more affordable and easier to find, making them great for students, hobbyists, and casual painters. Linen is considered a premium option because of its strength, durability and finer weave. Linen holds tension better over time and provides a more rigid, consistent painting surface. It’s ideal for oil painters or those creating work for sale or display. Both can be primed for acrylic or oil paint, so your choice depends on budget, technique, and desired finish.
Do you sell pre-stretched canvases or rolls?
Yes, we offer a variety of pre-stretched canvases in different sizes, so you can pick up a ready-to-use surface without the need for stretching or framing. We also stock canvas rolls and linen rolls, perfect for larger pieces or artists who prefer to cut their own sizes. These are great for studio setups or for anyone working on multiple projects at once.
What is an artboard, and when should I use one?
Artboards are flat, rigid painting surfaces—typically canvas or linen adhered to a board. They’re ideal for small or highly detailed work, or for artists who prefer a firmer surface than stretched canvas provides. Artboards are also more compact and travel-friendly, which is useful for plein air painters or those working in tighter spaces. Many artists use them for studies, commissions, or when creating a series.
What size canvases do you stock?
We carry a variety of standard canvas sizes—from small formats for quick studies or gifts to larger options for statement pieces. Stock may vary depending on demand, so if you’re after something specific or need multiple matching sizes, it’s a good idea to call ahead. We also keep canvas rolls for artists needing larger or custom dimensions.
