Pan Art Aqua Canvas Pad | 10x12 Inch | 12 Sheets - Watercolour on Canvas

Paint watercolour on real canvas instead of paper. This Pan Art Aqua pad holds 12 sheets of 100% cotton canvas, each 10x12 Inch (25.4x30.5cm), triple primed with acrylic titanium gesso and acid-free sized, so washes sit on the surface and your colours stay bright.

Specifications

Ideal For

• Watercolour artists who want to try canvas
• Hobby painters framing small pieces
• Mixed media artists

Perfect for

• Watercolour studies and landscapes on canvas
• Loose washes you can frame without glass
• Mixed media pages that need a tougher surface than paper
• Trying watercolour on canvas before buying larger surfaces
• Small gift paintings

Compatibility

Works with: watercolour tubes and cakes, as the maker states; Pan Art also describes it for mixed media work.

Pairs well with: soft round brushes, a mixing palette and masking tape.

Not suitable for: heavy scrubbing or lifting, since primed canvas releases colour differently to paper.

How to Use

1. Tear one sheet from the pad.
2. Tape all four edges to a board with masking tape so the sheet stays flat while you paint.
3. Paint in thin layers and let each layer dry before the next.
4. Leave the finished sheet flat to dry, then frame it or mount it on a board.

Before You Buy

• Brushes and paint are not included.
• Canvas takes water more slowly than watercolour paper, so washes stay wet for longer.
• Sheets are unmounted, so tape them to a board for wet work.
• Not the same as the Camel Artist canvas pads, which are primed for oil and acrylic; this pad is prepared for watercolour.

You will Need

• watercolour sets
• round brushes

You may also like

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sheets are in the pad and what size are they?
There are 12 sheets, each 10x12 Inch, which is 25.4x30.5cm.

How is this different from the Camel canvas pads?
The Camel pads hold 10 sheets primed for oil and acrylic, in sizes from 8x10 to 16x20 Inch. This Aqua pad holds 12 sheets of 10x12 Inch prepared for watercolour, so washes flow and blend on the canvas.

Can beginners use it?
Yes. Start with light washes and let each layer dry before adding the next.

How is it different from watercolour paper?
Paper soaks colour in, so washes dry faster and lift cleanly. This canvas holds colour on top for longer, which gives softer blends and a finished piece you can frame without glass. Pick paper for practice and lifting, the Aqua pad for display pieces.
