Why Choose Primed Canvas?

Priming a canvas is important because it prepares the surface for paint and prevents pigments from seeping into the fibers. If you use unprimed canvas, it can soak up your colors, weaken over time and even damage your artwork.

Q-Stretched Primed Canvas, which is triple-primed with gesso, provides:

- Even paint distribution

- Visibility of the true color pigments

- A longer lifespan for your artwork

- A smoother, more professional painting experience

This not only saves artists countless hours of preparation but also allows them to get into their creative flow.

Benefits of Using Q-Stretched Primed Canvas

1. Saving Time, Maximizing Creativity

For artists, preparing surfaces can take up a lot of precious time – stretching fabric, layering gesso, and waiting for everything to dry. But with Q-Stretched Primed Canvas, all of this can be done in advance. Just open the package and dive into your painting!

2. Professional Finish

The triple-primed surface strikes a perfect balance between texture and smoothness. This means you can achieve intricate details while still being able to apply bold brushstrokes or create rich textures with a palette knife.

3. Durable Support

The wooden stretcher bars in Q-Stretched Canvas are kiln-dried, making them resistant to warping. This ensures your artwork stays taut and stable over time, avoiding sagging or warping even when temperatures fluctuate.

4. Affordable Excellence

Even though they're professional-grade, Q-Stretched primed canvases won't break the bank, especially when you buy them from a trusted supplier like Kings Framing & Art Gallery. Whether you're buying a single canvas or ordering in bulk, you can count on consistent quality at a great price.

For Beginners

If you're just starting out, Q-Stretched canvases are perfect for practicing. Their smooth, flat surface gives you consistent results, allowing you to focus on mastering brush techniques and blending colors without compromising the quality of the canvas.

For Pros

Experienced artists appreciate the reliability of these canvases. Whether you're working on a commissioned piece, preparing for an exhibition, or leading a workshop, you can trust this canvas to deliver great results every time.

For Mixed Media

While they're primarily designed for oil and acrylic paints, many artists love using these canvases for mixed media projects as well. You can easily incorporate elements of collage, charcoal, ink, or sculpture. The sturdy primed surface makes it a great choice for creative experimentation.

Tips for Using Q-Stretched Primed Canvas

Secure it Properly: Even though it's already stretched, make sure the canvas is firmly attached to your easel or workstation to get the best results.

Layering: Because the canvas is primed, your initial layer of paint won't absorb too much—this is ideal for layering and glazing techniques.

Retouch Varnish: To protect your finished artwork, consider applying a retouch varnish after the paint has completely dried.

Avoid Over-Saturation: Be careful of using heavy water, as this can reduce the tension; use water-based techniques with caution.

Frame or Hang Straight: With its clean, back-stapled edges, Q-Stretched Canvas can be framed or hung immediately for a sleek, gallery-style appearance.
