In Brief

ARTMiE MUSEAL linen canvas is made from 100% linen from Italy, has a weight (g/m²) of 400 g/m², and has two layers of gesso. It is available stretched over a frame, by the meter on a roll, and on cardboard. It is a traditional surface for oil painting, and acrylic paints, tempera paint, and watercolors also stand out on it.

Why Paint on Linen Canvas?

Linen is an exceptionally strong natural fiber that resists abrasion and environmental effects well. That is why the old masters painted on it, and why professionals still choose it for oil painting and works that are meant to last. Compared with PROFI cotton canvas, MUSEAL linen canvas has a more pronounced texture that remains visible in the finished painting.
