Frequently Asked Questions

What size is this canvas roll?
It is 42 inch wide, about 107 cm, and 5 m long, in 10 oz 100% cotton.

Which width should I choose?
This 42 inch roll is the middle width, between the 24 and 54 inch rolls. Pick a width a little bigger than your largest painting so you can wrap the edges.

What does medium grain mean?
It has a visible weave that grips paint well, which suits acrylic, oil and textured work. Fine grain is smoother and suits detailed portraits.

Do I need to prime it?
No. It is already primed, so you only need to stretch or tape it down.
