Pan Art Linen Canvas Roll | 240 GSM Clear Primed | 84 Inch x 5 m - Oil & Acrylic

Stretch your own canvases on real linen and let its natural colour work for you. This Pan Art 100% linen canvas roll is 240 gsm, 84 inch wide and 5 m long, with acid-free sizing and three coats of transparent acrylic primer, so the warm linen tone stays visible while the surface still holds oil and acrylic paint.

Specifications

Perfect for

• Portraits and figure work with a warm, visible linen ground
• Paintings that leave parts of the linen bare as part of the design
• Large commissioned pieces cut to an exact size
• Several smaller canvases cut from one roll

Compatibility

Works with: oil colours and acrylic colours, as the maker states.

Pairs well with: wooden stretcher frames, a staple gun, a painting knife and a colour palette.

Not suitable for: watercolour, ink or any work that needs a bright white ground. Choose the 400 gsm white primed linen roll for that.

Before You Buy

• This roll is clear primed, so the surface is the natural greyish beige of linen, not white.
• 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.
• The pack label in the photo is shared across Pan Art linen rolls, so check this listing for the priming type.

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

What size is this linen canvas roll?
It is 84 inch wide, which is about 213 cm, and 5 m long. The canvas is 100% linen at 240 gsm.

What does clear primed mean?
The linen is sealed with a transparent acrylic primer instead of white gesso. The surface is protected and ready for paint, but the natural linen colour still shows.

How is this different from the 400 gsm Pan Art linen roll?
The 400 gsm roll is heavier and primed with white titanium gesso, so it gives a white ground. This 240 gsm roll is lighter and clear primed, so it keeps the linen colour.

Can I use acrylic paint on it?
Yes. Pan Art makes it for both oil and acrylic painting.
