These linens are available in fine (portrait) weight, medium-weight, and heavy-weight. All three Belgian linens are tightly woven, selected for their optimal benefits of strength and durability for your painting substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is best to buy raw fabrics for your canvas-making for two reasons:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1) This way, you can ensure that your fabric is sized, because you have done it yourself. Sizing prevents rotting from oils that penetrate. Sizing prevents SID from forming on your acrylic paintings. Sizing is usually not done by manufacturers of \"pre-gessoed\" fabrics, so these products need to be avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2) You can stretch or mount your fabric before the ground is applied. This is the best practice, because fabrics that have ground (\"gesso\") on them already actually are likely to form microscopic, undetectable fissures along the bend when the fabric is stretched. These fissures can allow leaching of oil into your fabric and thus can make way for rotting. Although this is not an issue for acrylics, sizing is. Therefore, always buy raw fabric for canvas-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLinens are arguably stronger that canvas and will definitely stand the tests of time for you. I will also be carrying an extremely high grade of heavy weight densely woven canvas that will also stand the test, if I can get it for you. Look forward to that soon too. Most canvas however, is not strong enough to ensure the long life of your work, so I will not be carrying lighter weights and looser density canvas fabrics.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlease email me before you order to discuss the dimensions of your pre-cut pieces. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/professional-art-products.myshopify.com\/admin\/products\/kmb@professionalart.ca\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ekmb@professionalart.ca.\u003c\/a\u003e Note that I also can offer you workshops in canvas-making.
