How to Use

1. Wipe the surface with a soft dry cloth to lift any dust.
2. If the surface ever feels water repellent, rub it very lightly with the smoothest sandpaper, as the maker advises.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the Camel 12x24 inch canvas in centimetres?
It is 12x24 Inch (30.5x61.0cm), one canvas on a wedge joint wooden frame.

How does it compare with the 16x20 inch Camel Artist canvas?
This one is 12x24 Inch (30.5x61.0cm). The 16x20 Inch (40.6x50.8cm) size gives a larger painting area on the same cotton, primer and frame.

Can I use both oil and acrylic on it?
Yes. The maker rates this canvas for oil and acrylic painting, and the triple acrylic primer means no extra gesso is needed.

Should I pick a stretched canvas or a canvas board?
A stretched canvas is cotton pulled over a wooden frame, so it hangs without a frame and the wedges let you tighten it again. A canvas board is primed canvas on a flat board that stores easily, so pick a board for practice and studies and stretched canvas for finished work.
