Description
LUCA Professional Transparent Primed Stretched Linen preserves the natural colour and character of linen while providing a protected, ready to paint surface.
Made from premium 12 oz linen with a tight weave and medium texture, the surface is triple primed with artist grade transparent primer. This allows the warm natural linen colour to remain visible and become part of the finished artwork.
Each linen canvas is hand stretched over a heavy duty 38 mm solid pine frame with carefully folded corners. Selected larger sizes are reinforced with substantial back braces for additional structural support.
