El Greco Professional Absorbent Ground Canvas Rolls

Three hand-applied coats of an extraordinary family recipe of gesso priming!

The use of Cotton instead of Linen provides a more genuine character for this unique canvas-making process. El Greco from Belle Arti is an exquisite Italian made professional canvas roll that has a more generous surface allowing colors to move into the priming for dramatic images with all thinned and water-based media. Use it to create watercolor effects with acrylics, paint "fresco" style with egg tempera or traditional opaque watercolors, and apply a wide variety of mixed media applications with chalks, charcoal, pastels, decorative papers, and whatever else you can imagine.

El Greco has three hand-applied coats of an extraordinary family recipe of gesso priming to provide a softer feel, more absorbent surface, and incredible, beautiful natural surface on beefy, firm, tight weave Cotton. It is like no other canvas we have ever seen.
