Artist Linen Canvas - Art Materials Australia Online

For artists, the surface they paint on is just as important as their paints and brushes. While cotton canvases are popular, many professional artists prefer artist canvas linen for its superior quality, durability, and texture. At Art Materials Australia, we pride ourselves on offering the best premium linen canvases, available in wholesale box lots and delivered straight to your door. We stock transparent primed and titanium primed linen canvases designed to elevate your artwork to the next level.

Why Choose Artist Canvas Linen?

There are several reasons why artist canvas linen is the preferred surface for many professional artists:

Superior Texture: Linen provides a natural, high-end feel with a fine to medium texture that enhances the painting experience.
Durability: Linen canvases, like those we offer at Art Materials Australia, are a testament to the enduring quality of your artwork. They last longer than cotton ones, are more resistant to moisture and environmental changes, ensuring your artwork stands the test of time.
Historical Significance: Linen has been the canvas of choice for the Masters long before cotton became popular. Today, many top artists still choose linen for its unmatched quality, feeling a deep connection to a rich artistic tradition. At Art Materials Australia, we stock the best artist canvas linen, available in transparent and titanium-primed varieties to suit different artistic needs.

Titian Belgium Linen Canvases

One of our most popular products is the Titian Belgium linen canvas. These transparent primed canvases are available in eleven sizes, offering artists flexibility. Each canvas has a natural, high-end texture, making it a pleasure to paint.

The Titian Belgium linen canvas has been triple-coated with clear, acid-free, non-yellowing gesso. Creating a smooth, durable barrier that protects the linen while providing an excellent surface for your paints to adhere to. When using artist-grade pigments, preserving their vibrancy and longevity is essential; this well-primed surface ensures just that.

Transparent Primed vs Titanium Primed Linen Canvases

At Art Materials Australia, we offer two types of priming for our artist canvas linen:

Transparent Primed Linen Canvases: These canvases retain the natural beauty of the linen while offering a protective, non-yellowing barrier. Many artists enjoy exposing parts of the linen in their artwork, allowing the natural texture and tone to complement their paint.
Titanium Primed Linen Canvases: Our titanium primed linen canvases are an excellent choice for artists who prefer an opaque, white surface. They provide a bright, clean background that makes colours pop.

Whether you prefer transparent primed linen’s natural look or titanium primed linen’s classic white surface, Art Materials Australia has the perfect artist canvas linen.

The Benefits of Using Titian Transparent Primed Linen

Transparent primed linen canvases offer unique benefits that make them a favourite among many professional artists:

Natural Aesthetic: The natural colour of the linen gives your work a sophisticated and organic feel, inspiring many artists to leave parts of the canvas uncovered, allowing the natural linen to become part of the artwork.Neutralising Bright Colours: When working with a bright colour palette, the natural tone of the linen helps neutralise the intensity, providing balance and harmony to the composition.
Staple-Free Edges: If you would like to paint the edges of your canvas, you will appreciate Titian canvases’ feature of staple-free edges. All staples are placed at the back, giving the canvas a clean, professional finish.
Durable Stretcher Bars: The canvas is supported by kiln-dried, heavy-duty 1 1/2″ pine stretcher bars. These sturdy frames ensure that your canvas remains taut and durable over time.

Australian artist Nicki Comelli says, “When I see an artist linen canvas hanging in a gallery, I know the artist has taken care in choosing the finest products.”

Linen Canvas Weight and Texture

Another important factor to consider is the weight of the linen canvas. Our artist canvas linen weighs 12 oz / 450 gsm, providing the perfect balance between durability and texture. The canvas’s fine to medium texture allows for smooth brushwork while still offering enough tooth for the paint to adhere effectively.
