Thick Stretched Canvas - 20x20cm (3.6cm thick)

Start every masterpiece with the Creatistics Thick Stretched Canvas, a premium-quality painting surface that caters to both emerging and experienced artists. Measuring 20 x 20cm with a robust 3.6cm thickness, this stretched canvas offers a substantial base for a variety of artistic expressions, from children's classroom projects to more sophisticated artwork. Crafted from 100% bleached cotton, the natural fibres are tightly woven and stretched over a durable wooden frame to provide an ideal painting surface. The stretcher bars are made from plantation-grown Paulownia timber, a fast-growing and commercially cultivated hardwood, making this canvas both sustainable and strong. The canvas supports acrylic, oil, and thick painting mediums, and can be prepared with gesso to ensure longevity and prevent decay caused by direct contact with oil paints.
