Product Overview
The Winsor & Newton Linen Canvas, Strong and durable linen remains the preferred surface for many artists. Made from the fibers of the flax plant harvested in Western Europe. The warp and weft threads weigh the same meaning they are less prone to expansion or contraction due to moisture. It retains its natural oils which helps to preserve the fibers flexibility and stops the canvas from becoming brittle. Has a more 'natural' weaved finish than cotton. It's the ultimate surface, expertly stretched by hand. The faultless, finest grade linen is primed with highly pigmented Gesso and is beautifully responsive to every brushstroke. The new Winsor & Newton pro-stretcher™ creates precision tension that you can control. The linen canvas surface has a medium texture, ideal for use with oil and acrylic paints.
