Fine Grain Width: 210cm Weight: 361gsm Note: Price is per metre, the

This canvas is stiffened and sealed with one coat of Rabbit Skin Glue,
a water-based glue that is applied while hot. So this half-prepared
canvas saves the artist some trouble and still allows them to get the
custom surface they want by applying their own gesso. The artist can
finish the canvas by adding their own choice of primer to the surface:
acrylic primer, clear acrylic medium, homemade genuine gesso or oil
primer. This canvas comes in three textures: extra-fine, fine and rough
and is available by the metre, stretched and on a Jackson's Handmade
Linen Board.
Please note: you will need apply an extra layer of size, if you wish to
apply oil primer or oil paint to the surface.
