Art Cotton Canvas

Overview

Artifact medium-grain cotton canvas rolls offer excellent tooth, strong adhesion, and balanced absorbency—preventing the sinking of colors. They are suitable for both oil and acrylic painting. If you wish to stretch and frame your own panels, these rolls are an ideal choice.

What is Canvas?

Canvas is an extremely durable plain-woven fabric widely used for:

• Functional purposes: sails, tents, marquees, shelters, and backpacks.

• Fashion items: handbags, shoes, and electronic device cases.

• Artistic uses: a popular painting surface, typically stretched across wooden frames for oil and acrylic painting.

Its strength, versatility, and texture make it one of the most trusted materials for artists worldwide.

Cotton Canvas Weights

Canvas weight plays a critical role in determining its handling and suitability for different techniques.

• Lightweight Canvas (≈ 7 oz/yd²):

  • Example: Canvas Duck Cloth 7oz 63″

  • Ideal for preliminary studies, practice work, or thin paint layers.

• Medium Weight Canvas (≈ 10–12 oz/yd²):

  • Example: Painting Canvas 12 Duck

  • Versatile for most painting styles, widely used by artists.

• Heavyweight Canvas (15 oz/yd² and above):

  • Provides durability and support for large artworks or heavy textural techniques like impasto.

  • Maintains tension and stability over time.

We supply various canvas rolls across these ranges, including the popular 10oz Cotton Duck Fabric 72″, to meet diverse artistic requirements.
