How to Use

1. Remove any dust from the surface with a soft dry cloth.
2. If the surface ever feels water repellent, rub it very lightly with the smoothest sandpaper, as the maker advises.
3. Sketch lightly, then block in large areas before adding detail.
4. If the canvas slackens as you paint, tap the wooden wedges gently into the corner slots to tighten it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the Camel Artist 12 x 16 inch canvas in cm?
It measures 12 x 16 inch, about 30 x 40 cm, on a wedge joint wooden frame.

How is it different from the 12 x 18 inch Camel Artist canvas?
The 12 x 18 inch canvas gives you a larger painting area. This 12 x 16 inch size is easier to handle and hang, with the same cotton, primer and frame.

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

How is it different from the Camel Kromelab canvas?
The Artist canvas is the maker's range for oil and acrylic, with a triple primer and a wedge joint frame you can tighten again. Kromelab is a smaller format range aimed at acrylic and hobby painting.
