Description
This is a description of a set of 6 Italian-made linen canvases, each stretched to a different degree and primed with a different type of oil. The dimensions of the canvases are 18mm deep for the smaller sizes and 21mm deep for the larger sizes. The canvases are stapled on the reverse only, and come in three variations - Oil Primed Extra Fine, Universal Primed Fine Grain, and Universal Primed Medium Grain.
Italian-made, a fantastic range of traditional stretched linen and
cotton canvases. Using the finest linen thread from France, the woven
linen is then primed and stretched to the highest of standards. All the
linen and cotton canvases are stretched to the reverse giving a clean
edge suitable for displaying without a frame. Only renewable wood (red
fir) dried to the right degree of humidity, is employed to assure the
best stability of stretcher. A special design of joint and stretcher
bar assures resistance to torsion and the perfect control of the
stretcher's tension. The care that has gone into the production of
these canvases is outstanding.
The linen stretched canvases are ready to use and available in three
variations; Oil Primed Extra Fine suitable for Oil painters requiring a
smooth surface, Universal Primed Fine Grain suitable for all mediums
and Universal Primed Medium grain ideal for the painter who wishes for
a more pronounced texture to work on.
