Canvas

Pre-stretched canvases: 50% off every day!


Download the canvas price list

The canvases are made by Art Alternatives. Natural, unbleached medium-weight (8oz) cotton duck is stretched around specially designed, kiln-dried stretcher bars, and held in place with a flexible spline allowing these canvases to be painted on all four edges as well as the canvas surface. The surface is triple-primed with acid-free acrylic titanium gesso and staple-free on the sides. Studio Stretched Canvas features a ⅞” edge, and Gallery Stretched Canvas features a thick 1½” edge. Both are suitable for oil and acrylic painting. Download the Art Alternatives Canvas info sheet, with an explanation of how the canvas weight is measured.

All Art Alternatives pre-stretched canvases are 50% off every day, and you can always order cases of canvases to get an additional 20% off.

Also available are Deep Canvas, with a 3″ edge, and Linen Canvas which is triple-primed with clear gesso to allow the natural fiber to show through, and features a 1½” edge.
