This high-quality Creatistics Thin Stretched Canvas is the ideal surface for budding and experienced artists alike. Crafted from 100% bleached cotton, these natural fibres are tightly woven and stretched over a solid wooden frame to create a professional-grade canvas surface. The stretcher bars are made from plantation-grown Paulownia timber, a fast-growing hardwood cultivated specifically for timber production. This ensures both durability and sustainability, making the canvas a reliable choice for repeated use in educational or studio settings. Perfectly suited for acrylic paints, oil paints, and other thick mediums, the canvas is a popular alternative to wooden panels, offering a lighter and more versatile painting experience. Traditionally, canvases may be coated with gesso to form a protective barrier that prevents the degradation of fibres from prolonged contact with oil paints. Measuring 20 x 20cm with a 1.6cm thickness, this canvas provides a sturdy, lightweight platform for creative exploration. Also available in assorted sizes, with thick canvas options (3.6cm) and slate board canvases for varied artistic techniques. A great staple for any learning space or creative setting.
