Description
Handmade, Custom Stretched, Australian Polyester Canvas With Four Coats of Gesso, Canvases expertly hand made to order on our premises at The PaintBox.
Australian Polyester Canvas With Four Coats of Gesso is a modern fabric now widely used to provide a super-fine tooth for more detailed work. In fact, due to its lack of hydroscopic, or water-absorbent qualities, Australian Polyester Canvas is ideally suited to the more tropical climate of northern Australia & any studios near water which are damp and poorly ventilated. Unlike cotton fabric Polyester will never attract mould.
Browse through our selection of surfaces, shapes and sizes to find the surface best suited to your technique or aesthetic. Consider if the weave of canvas, the grain of linen or the smoothness of polycotton is right for your practice, what level of absorbency you need and if you need your substrate to be rigid. Whatever qualities you need we have the information to help you decide what is the right surface for your practice.
We will expertly make this canvas for you using the material of your choice with strongly engineered timber stretchers. The magenta diagrams show stretcher/ bracing configurations: Without a Stretcher; With a Single Stretcher; With a Cross Brace, With a H Brace and the largest oblong canvases having Double H Bracing.
âÂÂOversizedâ stretched canvas orders, those with two or more sides longer than 160 cm, will need to be delivered by a specialist courier company and will incur an additional location-dependent delivery charge. Once weâÂÂve received your order we will contact you with confirmation of the delivery cost and arrange a convenient delivery date.
Our custom made canvases can take up to 10 days to make, so please also allow for the courier service delivery time to your address.
