Finally, ensure the artwork is adequately insured. This might involve having the piece appraised before transportation. While nobody wants to think about their artwork getting damaged, it's always better to be prepared for any eventuality.
How Does Canvas Texture Affect Your Painting?
Canvas texture can significantly impact the look and feel of your artwork. There are different textures available, ranging from smooth to coarse, each offering distinct results. A smoother texture is ideal for fine details and precision work, especially for watercolors, acrylics, or detailed oil paintings, as it allows for crisp lines and intricate brushwork. On the other hand, a textured canvas enhances the natural flow of thick paints and is perfect for expressive works that require bold strokes or a more organic, rough finish. The texture of the canvas also influences the way light interacts with the painting, adding depth and dimension. It is important to match your canvas texture with the desired effect, as the right texture can bring out the best in your artistic style.

When purchasing canvas specifically for oil painting, several factors should be taken into account. First, the type of canvas—linen is often considered the gold standard for oil painting due to its strength and texture, but cotton canvas is also a popular choice. Make sure the canvas is pre-primed, as oil paints require a specific surface that resists the absorption of oil. You should also consider the weight of the canvas; heavier canvases can hold up better to multiple layers of oil paint and provide a sturdier base for large-scale works. A well-primed and properly stretched canvas provides the best results, as it allows the paint to sit on top, creating a smoother application and better adhesion for oil paint. Selecting the right canvas ensures that your oil painting technique will thrive.
