The Art of Framing a Canvas Painting
The Sydney Art Store offers a wide range of framing tools and materials to help you perfect this process. With our high-quality products, you can frame your canvas painting with confidence and style.
What Is the Difference Between Pre-Stretched and Rolled Canvas?
When shopping for canvas, you will encounter two main options: pre-stretched and rolled canvas. Pre-stretched canvas comes already mounted onto a wooden frame, ready to use, making it a time-saving option for artists who want to start painting right away without worrying about assembly. It is available in a variety of sizes and can be primed or unprimed, depending on your needs. Rolled canvas, on the other hand, comes in larger sheets that you stretch yourself, giving you more flexibility in terms of size and customization. Artists who prefer more control over the stretching process often opt for rolled canvas, as it allows for a tight and tailored fit to the frame. Both options offer unique benefits depending on your personal preferences and project requirements.

Canvas may not be the first surface that comes to mind when thinking about watercolour painting, but it can offer unique advantages for those who want to explore new possibilities. Special watercolour canvases are available, which are primed specifically to handle the unique properties of watercolour paints. These canvases have a textured surface that allows watercolours to be absorbed and retained while giving them a smooth finish. The ability to layer watercolour on canvas adds a new dimension to your work, creating vivid, flowing colours with the texture of the canvas providing depth and a more tactile quality compared to traditional paper. When choosing canvas for watercolours, it’s essential to use one specifically designed for the medium, as it will offer the proper absorbency and texture required for watercolour techniques.
