Centurion (OP DLX) Deluxe Professional Oil Primed Linen Stretched Canvas

Master Quality Archival Stretched Canvas! Superb Performance And Color Retention! Exclusive OP Enhanced Oil Priming!

As an oil painter, it is important to work on oil primed surfaces. First, oil on oil will provide the best chemical bond for the paint layers that go on, afterwards. Secondly, gesso are acrylic based, and either repel oil if they have too high of a resin base, or absorb the oil too much if it is too matte, making color sink and look dull and lifeless. Oil priming allows the color to sit cleanly and brightly on the surface, with refraction of the white from below. Centurion’s affordable oil primed canvas is a great way to start painting with not only an oil primer, but the luxurious texture and archival tradition of linen!

Back stapled to allow for easy re-keying or re-stretching, Centurion Canvases have 4 paintable edges for frameless or floater frame presentation. The stretchers are kiln-dried, all pine bars for strength and durability. Centurion Linen is a master-quality, 11oz. weight linen with a lovely medium texture and weave, that’s archival nature will last hundreds of years.

Centurion Oil Primed Linen Canvases come in convenient 0.67" and 0.87" depths for ease of specific framing needs. Centurion Oil Primed Linen also comes in rolls for custom stretching onto custom sizes or deeper gallery stretchers, and is also sold in Panels for studies, plein air, or to take up less space for traveling.
