Although the art of manufacturing artist canvas has changed since the 1800's, the product we make today is nearly the same as the canvas we made over 130 years ago. We still shop around the world for the very best in fine cottons and linens and continue to provide the widest range of machine and hand processed canvas available. Our best selling canvases are universally primed for oil, acrylic or alkyd paints, but we still prime our finest canvas the old fashioned way... picked, pumiced and primed by hand with an oil based ground. That's why more Fredrix® artist canvas is sold than any other brand in the world. So, when you choose artist canvas, be sure to look for this seal of quality and be assured of the very best!
