Description
This is a linen canvas set that is made in Italy. The canvases are made of linen and are stretched to the reverse. The canvases are available in three variations: Oil Primed Extra Fine, Universal Primed Fine Grain, and Universal Primed Medium Grain. The canvases are also available in 18x24, 40x50, and 60x70 cm sizes. The canvases are also available with corner wedges to help with stretching.
Belle Arti surfaces are Italian-made, offering a fantastic range of
traditional stretched linen and cotton canvases.
Using the finest linen thread from France, the woven linen is primed
and stretched to the highest 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 used 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 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).
Please note: linen is a natural product and its properties may vary for
different reasons - exposure to moisture or the temperature of the
environment where it's stored, for example. For this reason, sometimes
the canvas might not appear properly stretched. If this has occured,
please use the corner wedges provided.
