Verified Reviews From Real Artists
“It Never Sags — I Won’t Use Anything Else.”
I paint and sell constantly, and the canvas never sags. It’s paint-ready, reliable, and practical to work with every day.
“Handles Heavy Medium Without Warping.”
Perfect for heavy paint and layered work. No warping of the panel or frame — just a solid, stable surface throughout.
“A Genuine Game Changer.”
I was blown away by the quality. The surface is a joy to paint on and feels noticeably more solid than my usual canvases. Easy to remove from the frame and consistently excellent results.
“Good Enough for Exhibition Submission.”
I knew the quality would be good from previous orders — I wasn’t expecting exceptional, but that’s what I got. I’m submitting two paintings to a summer exhibition, and both are on these canvases and frames.
“The Tension Is Spot-On, and They Finish Beautifully.”
They feel great to work on, the tension is excellent, and they look right once framed. Consistent, serious quality.
“I Wasn’t Sure at First — Now It’s My Go-To Surface.”
I didn’t know what to expect, but the surface is robust with a subtle texture that really suits my style. The frame also looks excellent and was simple to fit.

Louise Ynclan
Louise switched to ACF because she was tired of canvas texture interfering with detail, blends, and scans. With ACF, blending is smoother, fine detail is easier, and her scans come out clean and high-res — making prints simpler and her workflow quicker.
Zulfi 'RemBratt'
Zulfi describes ACF’s 40 mm canvas as a game changer. The surface feels solid and premium — tight and responsive, like tapping on a drum. The depth and overall build quality stood out straight away and gave his work a stronger presence.
Theresa Senger
Theresa fell in love with ACF canvases from her very first order. Her initial batch sold out quickly at a local gallery, with buyers drawn to the framing and overall quality. When she reordered, she found the canvases stayed tight with no sagging — making it feel like she’d accidentally found the perfect product.
Ewald Calitz
Ewald moved to ACF after repeated issues with sagging cotton duck and was skeptical at first. One painting was enough to show how well the surface supports his detailed work. He’s since bought around forty canvases, each one confirming the switch was worth it.
Rentia Coetzee
Rentia loves how versatile ACF canvases are across different media. From oils and pastels to charcoal and acrylic inks, the surface makes experimenting easy. There’s no need for extra prep, underlayers dry quickly, and everything simply works — giving her the confidence to explore creatively.
Nancy Walker
Nancy loves the super-fine texture of ACF canvases and how easy they are to start painting on straight away. With just a light coat of gesso, she’s ready to work. She’s especially drawn to the square formats and larger sizes, valuing the flexible, paint-ready surface that keeps her process smooth and effortless.

Let customers speak for us
Best canvas I’ve ever used !
Great product 😊 Appreciating the discounts/multiples, considering the price of art supplies lately. Fantastic surface - sometimes I apply an extra layer of gesso; sometimes not. Opening the packaging makes me feel like I'm busting someone out of jail, but then I use the plastic to protect my floor when I paint and varnish, so win-win.
I bought two deep and two stretched canvases 12x 16 with oak frames.
I was impressed by their quick arrival, and so protectively packaged it took me twenty minutes with my arthritic hands to open the parcel, but oh, was it worth it.
These canvases and frames are superb. They are really well made and very stylish. I love the natural oak veneer and will not be staining or painting it.
So far I have only removed one of the deep canvases from the frame which involved unscrewing the four screws and popping it out. The surface of the canvas was very good, though I have chosen to gesso and lightly sand it as I want a very smooth glasslike surface.
I am now building up my courage to put paint on these lovely objects. That first stroke. Don’t want to spoil them with inferior work. (Ha ha!)
I have already taken the items to two Art Painting groups to show my fellow artists the quality of these products and I am also about to write a piece for our Art Association Newsletter to spread the knowledge further.
Excellent service, products and super quick delivery. Outstanding.
Great customer service. I had a problem and although I should have contacted sooner it was still dealt with very well!
Love the surface of these and the strength and tautness.
Fabulous! Love working on these. Thanks for recommending, Graham!
These canvases will enhance any painting. They are wonderful to paint on and so well made. The packaging is a real art too!
These canvases are a real joy to paint on. I use oils and it gives a beautiful finish to the surface.
I knew the quality would be good, going on previous canvas orders. I wasn’t expecting exceptional but that’s what I got! I’m sending two painting to the RA summer exhibition and two of these canvasses and fames will be used. Fingers crossed! 🤞🏽
lovely canvas to work on and stunning oak frame
ACF never disappoints & it’s always a pleasure to paint on these beautiful canvases!
I love the canvases and all my students love them.They dont even want to paint on rough cotton canvases anymore.Neither do I, so please keep doing what you are doing.
