About the product

Opus Finest Stretched Clear-Primed Linen 8oz

The ultimate in quality and tradition, Opus Finest Stretched Clear-Primed Linen is a superior surface for the discriminating painter.

  • 100% linen, clear-primed
  • 8 oz / 270 gsm linen (7.5 oz / 260 gsm pre-primed)
  • Medium textured weave
  • Professionally stretched
  • 1½" deep heavy-duty pine bars
  • Reinforced with cross-braces and gussets

This linen canvas is ready to paint with acrylics. We recommend at least two additional coats of Opus Essential Gesso when painting with oils.

Customers praised this clear-primed linen canvas for its professional quality and excellent paint coverage. Shoppers noted "only one layer of oil paint provided full coverage," and appreciated the drum-tight stretch after priming. The professional construction impressed artists seeking a special surface for their work.

  • Only one layer of oil paint provided full coverage
  • The canvas shrinks a little and is now like a drum
  • I do like the professional construction

A great canvas

A great canvas. This was my first time using clear gessoed linen, and I was impressed. Only one layer of oil paint provided full coverage, whereas toned white gessoed canvas usually requires two layers of my application to be opaquely covered.

It is a good product

It is a good product. My only criticism is that it is heavy with the reinforcement on the corners.

I have primed this canvas and planning to use it soon - the canvas shrinks a little and is now like a drum. I can’t wait to use it for something special no pressure!)

I am about to use Gamblin oil painting ground on your pre-primed linen, but realized I should ask, what is the linen pre-primed with? is it a sizing that I can use Gamblin's oil painting ground on?

Opus Art Supplies

Hi janine, it is pre-primed with a clear acrylic gesso-- I recommend priming it again if you are using oil, as that will help prevent the mediums from deteriorating the linen! But once you have primed it again you should definitely be able to use Gamblin painting ground on the acrylic gesso.

Would it be possible to build a canvas custom for 5'x3', 100% linen and clear primed for acrylics?

Opus Art Supplies

Hi levi, we can certainly make that! If you email us at sales@opusartsupplies.com we can make a quote for you
