I have never used a.canvas so smooth before. I throw everything at my canvases because I am.a mixed media artist. I use a lot of collage and the canvas took it well and I was able to smooth it down perfectly on the surface. I used multiple layers of texture paste and paint. No problem for the canvas. I did find the surface was quite absorbent especially when it came to varnishing.
This is a very nice product, very clean and professional and so very well packaged. I imagine it would survive any kind of shipping situation.!!
I was a little surprised by the fine weave of the canvas, but I really like it.
Received and they are very sturdy. I am thrilled that the canvas can be removed to paint then installed back in the frame.
I haven’t had the time to paint on my ACF canvass’s yet. But by the way they are packed, I see 100% 💯 class act promise. I wish I had more time (and more space) to paint. I’m finding a love for oil painting I thought would be difficult, but find it a loving and easy medium to work with. Water colors are more difficult, but are soft and revealing.
I’m going to paint with oils on my ACF canvass’s, when I can after my hip replacement in a few days. Old age sux, but you do get wisdom you never had. Bless ACF, I think your whole business is a shining example to a lot of low down rackets. Best wishes!
It’s quite different from canvas and that’s for sure, I can totally see the well built construction. As long as you don’t scumble a lot then you’re good-as in use a little more paint if Acrylic is your jam(or paint).
Wish there was an option for a 4 pack in sizes smaller than 16”x20”
Loved the canvases, so easy to paint on
Was concerned with the fine grain but it was fine. Tight and took the paint well, will but more.
Best canvases I have ever used, wil not buy from anyone else
Love the A1 size 20mm edge stretched canvas.
Works well with my Acrylic paint.
I bought the 40 mm A0 stretched canvas.
I enjoyed creating my first big painting.
Sturdy and the quality is great.
Beulah
I was very impressed with the results working on ACF canvases. I started with an acrylic underpainting depicting the whole composition in variations of purple. Working with a flat brush, I found the watery paint covered well and there was enough 'grip'. The smoothness coupled with slight tooth and tautness of the surface proved ideal. Moving on, I painted the finished work in a couple of sittings using oil pigment sticks. Wow! So, despite the fact that there was no brushwork involved, just 'drawing' and blending with fingers, the canvas performed perfectly. For my style of expressive realism, the firm surface was great. Just enough 'give' to give me good feedback to my fingers without being sloppy. I always paint the round the sides of my canvases, and the sharp corners were excellent too. Finally, I loved that there's no ridge at the edge of the canvas. Pigment can be evenly spread right to the edge. Did I say Wow! I meant it.
Excellent canvases w frames. The very best!
Great quality canvas
I can't praise these enough, absolutely fantastic canvases. Although you may initially think they are on the edpensiv side, when you take into account you get 2 incredible canvases that come with solid wood floating frames, they actually prove to be very cost effective. I simply can't praise these enough, they genuinely change the way in which I enjoy the painting process.
Can’t wait to get started on my fav canvasses!
These pre-framed canvases are absolutely superb quality and I will definitely be re-ordering. I was pleasantly surprised by the heavy weight and the taut canvas surface. Excellent product, highly recommended.
The best canvas is one you stop thinking about because it simply lets you paint. For me, that’s exactly what ACF provides.
My paintings develop slowly through layers of glazing, observation, and refinement, so I need a canvas I can trust completely. ACF canvases give me that confidence. Their consistent surface and excellent tension allow me to move effortlessly between delicate reflections, crisp architectural detail, and softer, more atmospheric passages.
I use your canvases in South Africa and am now also using them in my London studio.
I love the fine weave and smooth surface to work on with both paint as well as other media (pencils, charcoal, graphite, pastels etc)
Amazing Quality, exceeded my expectations
These are incredible quality, the box board means a rigid painting surface which is perfect for my style. Very smooth tooth, enough to grab the paint but smooth enough to allow smooth unbroken lines and detail. Very high quality and for professionals I have no hesitation in recommending them. May be a little pricey for hobbyists but that is reflected in the quality you are getting. These far exceed mainstream suppliers such as Windsor and newton professional series, there is just no comparison. Fantastic communication also
I'm an experienced oil painting artist and found the experience on your canvases disappointing. Perhaps I'm not used to the surface where the paint does not adhere as comfortably as a linen canvas.
Ive spent months doing a project. Finished. Then I received 4 small 15cm square from you. What a pleasure. In a week I had painted all 4. The thin lines went on.The sunset blended. It was a week of great fun. With a great product.
