Pan Art Linen Canvas Roll | 240gsm Clear Primed | 84 Inch x 5m - 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 240gsm, 84 Inch (213.4cm) wide and 5m 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
• Toned ground studies without applying a wash

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 400gsm white primed linen roll for that.

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 5cm 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 213.4cm, and 5m long. The canvas is 100% linen at 240gsm.

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

Can I use acrylic paint on it?
Yes. Pan Art makes it for both oil and acrylic painting, and the clear primer means no gesso is needed unless you want a white ground.

How is linen different from the cotton canvas rolls?
Linen is stiffer and holds its tension longer on the frame, which many oil painters prefer for lasting work; this roll also shows the natural linen tone. The Pan Art 480gsm cotton roll is softer, stretches easily, costs less and comes white primed. Pick linen for fine art commissions, cotton for practice and large studio work.
