Before You Buy

• The canvas is not stretched. Stretcher frames, staples and tools are not included.
• It is sold as a full 5 m roll; cut lengths are not available.
• Fine grain gives a smoother surface for detail; for heavy texture, a medium grain canvas suits better.
• The photos are shared across all Camel roll widths.

How to Use

1. Unroll the canvas on a clean, flat surface and let it relax for a few hours.
2. Measure and cut your piece, leaving about 5 cm extra on every side for wrapping.
3. Lay the canvas primed face down and centre your stretcher frame on it.
4. Staple from the middle of each side outward, pulling the canvas evenly as you go.
5. Fold and staple the corners last, then check the surface for slack before you paint.

Frequently Asked Questions

How wide and long is this Camel canvas roll?
It is 48 inch wide, about 121 cm, and 5 m long.

Which width should I choose?
This 48 inch roll is wider than the 42 inch roll and a little narrower than the 52 inch roll. Pick a width a little bigger than your largest painting, so you have spare canvas to wrap around the frame.

What is fine grain canvas good for?
The tighter, smoother weave shows less texture, so it suits portraits, fine detail and thin glazes.

Can I use acrylic on it as well as oil?
Yes. Camel makes this roll for both oil and acrylic painting.
