The Linen canvas fabric is woven with pre-washed long fibres, which gives it its clean look and very good regularity.The Pebeo research laboratory has formulated a new type of acrylic coating, guaranteeing the stability of the canvas, good colour adhesion and total protection of the fibres. The canvases are double-primed with this coating, and can be directly painted onto without an additional layer of primer. This is a particular advantage if you prefer to work onto the lovely linen colour rather than a white surface.
At Chromos we supply these canvases in a range of 14 sizes;
- 5 square sizes:
20x20cm, 30x30cm, 40x40cm, 50x50cm and 60x60cm.
- 2 double-squares and 1 triple-square:
20x40cm, 30x60cm and 20x60cm.
- 6 traditional continental sizes of Figure 5, 6, 8 ,10, 12 & 15:
The 'figure' sizes were worked out many years ago and are traditional French standard canvas sizes. We often receive enquiries as to the actual measurements of these figure canvas dimensions.... So here they are:
Fig. 5 - 35 x 27 cm
Fig. 6 - 41 x 33 cm
Fig. 8 - 46 x 38 cm
Fig. 10 - 55 x 46 cm
Fig. 12 - 61 x 50 cm
Fig. 15 - 65 x 54 cm
Final verdict? Fragonard is definitely worth the extra expense if you are looking for a great, superior canvas upon which to create your masterpiece!
