Stretched Artist Canvases Supplies & Ideas

________________________________________________________________________________________

Canvases for teachers, artists, crafters, students, businesses and studios

Ready to use, pre-stretched and coated canvases are now available for a variety of techniques including:  painting, spraying, mixed media, inks, stamping, stencilling, image transfer, photo transfer, wall art, murals, prints, decoupage and home décor artwork.

All canvas blanks have been coated allowing for good application of colour. Additionally, they have been stretched over a wooden frame to provide clean edges and have been fixed in place at the back using staples.  Depths range from 1.4cm (printed canvases) to 1.6cm (plain white canvases) creating a "box" for artwork to be lifted off the wall if hung.

Simply trace your pattern/template/download or artwork onto the canvas using our graphite paper (available in white or grey).  Graphite transfer sheets/carbon papers are ideal for design text and pattern transfer. Graphite paper also known as ARTIST TRANSFER PAPER is an easy and efficient way for artists to transfer their images onto surfaces like canvas wood bisque or paper. Unwanted lines are simply removed with an eraser. Graphite transfer paper works like carbon paper. Simply place the sheet of graphite paper on top of your surface and underneath the pattern you want to transfer. Make a copy by pressing hard over the lines of the top copy image.
