It's Not Canvas, It's Stretched 100% Cotton Watercolor Paper. The strong, durable paper is stapled to a wooden stretcher frame, just like a traditional canvas. Internal and external sizing prevents over-absorption and helps vibrant colors stand out on the surface. The grain of the paper softens when wet and tightens as it dries on the frame. Mixed media effects can be achieved by allowing wet media to dry before adding each layer. Best of all, the stretcher frame makes it easy to showcase your art without worrying about matting and framing. However, any ready-made frame (with or without glass) can also be used to enhance your artwork even more. You could even use a floater frame with your watercolor art! This unique stretched watercolor paper doesn't just cater to one medium. It's a versatile platform for dry media, pen & ink, acrylic, colored pencil, charcoal, and even water color canvas painting. The 5/8" stretcher frame depth and back stapled construction ensures that the paper tightens on the frame as it dries, providing a taut, smooth surface to showcase your art without the need for matting and framing. Artist Tip: Use watercolor fixative on top of dried layers to keep them from re-wetting. If no glass is used for framing, you may want to protect your watercolor artwork with a varnish.
