In brief

Kids, schoolchildren, and beginners can use a less expensive canvas that stands up to experimentation: ECO stretched canvas made from 100% cotton, second-quality canvas, or canvas board. There’s a mini easel with canvas for the youngest artists. Stretched canvases are gesso-primed and ready for painting with acrylic paints.

What canvas should you buy for a child to paint on?

For the youngest artists: mini easel with stretched canvas – a small canvas made from 100% cotton (230 g/m²) on a wooden easel. The child can display the finished painting on a table or give it as a gift.

For schoolchildren and beginners: ECO stretched canvas made from 100% unbleached cotton, with a weight of 305 g/m². It has the same double gesso priming as standard canvases, a lighter frame, and a lower price. We make the frames and stretch the canvas in our own workshop.

For lots of practice: second-quality stretched canvas – 370 g/m² cotton with minor cosmetic flaws at a significantly lower price.

For art class and sketches: canvas board – lightweight, sturdy, and less expensive than stretched canvas.

For neon and light colors: black ECO stretched canvas (305 g/m²).

Creative set: set for creating a relief abstract painting – modeling paste, ECO canvas measuring 20 × 30 cm, and a notched spatula.

What paints should kids use on canvas?

Acrylic paints are the most practical choice for kids painting on gesso-primed canvas. They dry quickly, and while they’re wet, you can wash them off with water. Find ideas for painting with kids in the article Painting with Kids. For step-by-step instructions, see the guide Painting on Canvas for Beginners. If your child wants a ready-made motif, try paint by numbers. Compare all our canvas ranges on the canvases page.
