Description
This is a description of Claessens Fine Linen Oil Primed 300GSM 210CM Wide 10M Roll Canvas. Claessens uses a rigorous treatment and process to make the finest artist quality canvases. First, all raw canvases are sized with a synthetic PVA glue. Next, a primer of zinc white paint bound with linseed oil is applied to the glued linen. The canvas is then put into a drying room for three days where it air-dries naturally. After this first initial drying time, the canvas is then sanded and a coating layer based on titanium white is applied to the canvas by means of two knives and a roller. The canvas is then placed in the drying room for another ten days. Claessens' Oil Primed Canvases are suitable for oil paint.
