AMA studio canvases thick frame

AMA Fine Art Canvases are competitively priced and well-made. While the casual observer may not be able to tell the difference between a cheap and good but cheap canvas, you will experience the difference yourself as you work with the next step up in canvas quality and design. AMA canvases are made from 100% pure cotton duck. These canvases do not yellow and are triple primed. The heavyweight 300gsm canvas is ideal for acrylic, oil paint and mixed media. The cotton fabric is hand-stretched over a pine frame. These canvases are sturdy and will not warp easily.

This range has been made especially for entry-level artists and students; the AMA Studio Canvas is very economical in price. They are great quality canvases that are acid-free. They have a thick approximate 38mm profile and are also used by professionals who sell their artwork.

AMA linen canvases

The AMA linen canvas range is the preferred canvas for many established artists. A favourite in galleries, the AMA linen canvas has a light timber frame, ideal for acrylic, oil and mixed media work. They are primed with a transparent gesso so that the natural colour of the linen is the workable surface. This particular linen canvas has a light weight of 8.85 ounces. Our linen is made in Belgium and is a beautiful natural colour.

Watercolour canvases

A specially designed and manufactured watercolour canvas made up of 250gsm. These frames are made of 100% natural cotton and bring any watercolour piece to life. The AMA watercolour canvas is unique in its design and is superb to work on as a watercolour painting surface. They are excellent to work on, as extra framing is not essential and can be hung directly onto a wall.
