What is canvas stretching? Canvas stretching is the process of attaching a canvas, typically a painting or print, to a wooden frame (known as a stretcher) to keep it taut and wrinkle-free. This process ensures that the artwork is displayed in the best possible condition and protects it from damage due to environmental factors like humidity.

Our blank stretched canvases are incredibly convenient, as they come pre-stretched and often primed, saving you valuable time. Unstretched canvas typically comes in rolls, requiring you to stretch it over canvas stretcher bars or panels. Pre-stretched canvas is also easier to frame, thanks to its standard sizes that fit perfectly into open-backed frames with grooves and clips for secure placement.
When selecting the perfect canvas, consider the choice between cotton or linen materials. Cotton canvas is generally more affordable, while linen canvas boasts a tighter weave for a more durable surface.
Our stretched canvases can come pre-primed with acrylic gesso or oil-based primer, preparing the surface for paint application. Use acrylic gesso with acrylic paint and oil-based primer with oil paint to prevent paint from soaking into the canvas weave.
Stretched linen canvas, crafted from woven linen cloth stretched around a wooden frame and secured at the back or sides with staples, tacks, or a metal spline, is made from the inner bark of a flax plant. The long fibers produce a strong, flexible, and slightly stretchy material that has been known to last centuries. Due to the extraction, processing, and weaving methods, linen canvas is typically more expensive than cotton canvas. Our stretched linen canvases are available primed with oil ground or acrylic gesso, ensuring the perfect base for your artistic creations.
