An oil primed canvas roll is a linen canvas material that has been treated with an oil based primer or base coat. Artists who use oil paints often prefer this type of canvas. The canvas of roll is prepared with a primer specifically formulated for oil painting which gives it a smooth and slightly absorbent surface ideal for using oil paints. When painting in oils, we recommend using an oil primed surface for the best results. Oil primed canvases are custom made for oil paint applications offering artists a surface to work on. The oil based primer enhances adhesion and works well with oil paints enabling artists to create their desired effects and techniques.

What is an oil primed canvas? A canvas primed with oil is a type of canvas that has been treated with an oil based primer or base. This involves adding coats of primer to the linen canvas roll, a blend of linseed oil and pigment. The canvas material is pulled tightly over a stretcher frame, panel or board followed many applications of coats of oil based primer on the surface.

What types of paint work best on oil primed canvas? An oil primed canvas is specially crafted for oil paints making them the ideal choice for use on this type of surface. Oil paints bond effectively with the oil based primer ensuring top notch quality and durability of the artwork.

It's important to note that acrylics or watercolors are not recommended for use on oil primed canvas. Acrylic paints may not adhere properly to the oil primer.
