Canvases and paper for every medium and program.
This collection covers the surfaces most commonly required at the start of an art program. Stretched canvases are available in standard and gallery profiles, in cotton and biodegradable options, across a wide range of formats including square and panoramic sizes. Black canvas boards offer a ready-to-use alternative for mixed media, acrylic and oil work. Watercolour pads cover cold press and portrait formats at various weights, alongside mix media paper in coloured grounds for more experimental work. Canvas paper pads and rolls round out the selection for studies and practice work that doesn't require a stretched surface.
The right surface for the right technique.
Choosing the correct support is as important as choosing the right paint. Stretched canvases suit acrylic and oil work where texture and tension matter. Watercolour pads are sized and weighted to handle wet media without buckling. Mix media paper handles the combination of wet and dry techniques on a single sheet. Canvas paper offers a cost-effective option for studies and colour tests before committing to a full canvas.
