All reviewers gave 5-star ratings, highlighting its quality for special artwork projects.

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

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
