Collection: Canvars Artist Canvas
CANVARS – Crafted for Artists Who Dare to Create
Welcome to CANVARS – a collection of premium handcrafted canvases created to meet the demands of discerning artists. Each canvas is built with precision, passion, and purpose — designed to be the ideal foundation for your next masterpiece.
CANVARS canvases are made using carefully selected Italian cotton (medium grain) or smooth-grain linen, depending on your chosen surface. The tightly woven fabric is double or triple primed with acid-free gesso to create a perfect painting ground that holds pigment on the surface — rather than soaking into the fibres.
