I am so pleased there is a product that is SO good but affordable for emerging artist ; It is so lovely to treat your work to the best frame!
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from these canvases but they seemed good value so worth a try. I needn’t have worried. The surface feels so robust and with a subtle texture which I found suited my style and was lovely to use. Likewise, the frame looks great and was easy to detach/attach with 4 screws.
I always buy these Canvases, they are so perfectly straight for framing and just the best quality to create on 😊
Wow! I was totally blown away by the quality of the ACF canvas and floating frame. The canvas has a beautiful finish that’s a joy to paint on and screams quality. Easy to remove from the frame for painting ( 4 screws) so no risk of paint overspill causing an issue. Maybe it’s psychological but I felt the improved quality of the ACF canvas over my usual ones made my painting ability’s improve? I was certainly pleased with the results.
Price wise they are incredibly good value as I’ve priced canvases and floating frames separately before.
Great service tops it off for me… I’ve already bought more and will continue to do so. Photos are 20” x 20” deep frame.
Thanks ACF.
Love working on acf canvases. I have worked on huge ones and tiny ones and finally started to use the oak framed sets.
The canvas is excellent. But the best part about the sets is the speed of framing. No fuss. Perfect fit
I love the raw wood look but have experimented with staining it to. Very easy.
Recommended to all my artist friends.
This is my first order with ACF. I’d read so many good reviews and I needed to buy something special as this is for a commission. Cant believe how quickly they arrived, first of all. Amazing. But the quality is top notch! Tight as a drum, corners bevelled to perfection. Can’t wait to start on these babies. I’ll post the finished results (3 x 16” x 16”) (as soon as they’ve been received by my client) on my Insta account @SarahParryJonesArt
In the meantime, here are a few pics and video, including a drum roll 🥁 🖼️
I thought I would buy the Box Board Canvases as I had read the adverts and wanted to see if they are as good as people say……I’m full of anticipation to get painting as they look really good; solid and well made. Perfect for getting stuck in with palette knife, scraper and sandpaper!
Several artists on Instagram and YouTube were raving about ACF canvasses. Then I noticed an article in the Artist Magazine from an artist also using ACF canvasses. So I thought I would give them a try.
And I haven’t been disappointed.
They are beautiful to paint on and I have already taken delivery of a second batch.
Well made and very well packed on arrival at my home in UK. Very impressed with the surface, it feels great applying oil paint, also used some paste for texture. It took well to the canvas. Love the floating frame. I'm hooked!!
I bought the A5 size to test charcoal on for an AO project I have in mind. I’m really pleased to say the result was excellent. Once I got used to the surface it was easy to draw on in charcoal. I have now ordered the AO size and cannot wait to get started on it.
Tried out my first ACF PET canvas and i am blown away by the quality and how well it took my fluid art. I used this for one of my forst gallery submissions and am over the moon with the results! Could not have asked for more and Graham is so helpful too! Once my current stock canvases have run out, I wont be getting them from anywhere else. Looking forward to trying the canvas box board next :-)
perfect for blob artwork no warping of panel or the frame with the heavy medium. All round quality of the box board panel perfect. Ordering and delivery perfect no problems at all. Will definitely be buying more
I’m in the middle of a painting that I am working on for a friend, it’s lovely to work on the quality is outstanding. Will post the painting when finished.
Excellent, very good idea . Solves the problem of how to frame work . Sturdier than I thought . Will buy more .
The oak frame is beautiful, sturdy and neatly built and easily detachable from the canvas. I unfortunately thought “boxed” meant a hard backing with a stretched canvas material over it. Your product photos does not show the back of the canvas and use the same wording/jargon in the description as for the normal box masonite canvasses. So, like other canvasses manufactured in the same way, it does bounce a bit with faster brush strokes. I’ve also anticipated re-using the boxing/wrapping/protection to courier my finished work to its next destination, and expect that it eould have been delivered in a good quality box, like a TV screen box. Unfortunately my order arrived in only loose bubble wrapping and some extra carton box and foam plastic edging, covering it all overl. I was concerned about possible frame damage as the wrapping wasn’t in a good state after I received it from the courier, but luckily this was not the case - neither the less, I will need to purchase extra casing/boxing for shipment. The system does advise longer production time and though it seems an overall good product, the 14 calendar day wait, doesn’t really feel worth my while. Neither the less, I have not completed my work on it yet, and will probably check in again after it’s done to give my final thoughts.
Hi Michelle,
If there are courier issues, please reach out to us when the item is delivered so we can sort it immediately. We pack with bubble wrap to protect the frame—as you noted, “I was concerned about possible frame damage as the wrapping wasn’t in a good state after I received it from the courier, but luckily this was not the case.”
A “box” to reuse for your clients is a good idea, but it isn’t practical for us; unfortunately parcels are often handled roughly, so our priority is making sure your canvas arrives safely.
On lead times: we’re working to improve them. (Currently we have a 10 working day turn around) It’s a busy time of year with many orders and export prep. When we get gaps we build stock, but it sells as fast as we make it.
Keep us updated on the painting progress.
Very nice canvas. The acrylic paint just glides on and also it doesn't dry immediately so gives a bit extra time for blending.
Nice Oak frame too.
Not used yet apart from putting gesso on. Seems nice and strong
First time using this surface, really good for layering or detail work. 👍
I am a professional artist and have been painting with oil for years! I just love to paint on the thick edge box canvas! The surface is smooth and the colours come out bright and beautiful! What I love most are the neatly prepared corners of the canvas. An outstanding product!
The canvas is absolutely fantastic. The only down side was the time it took for the item to actually be shipped. waiting 9 days from order date until it’s actually shipped is a bit disappointing, but other than that. Very happy with the product
Super product .
Lovely company to deal with .
