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
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.
So so happy with my canvases. I'm a convert
Absolutely incredible I love them. I ordered two of these 40 x 20“ canvases. My next order will be two 40 x 30“ canvases and I’m sure I’ll be ordering many more after that thank you
The canvases are everything that you said wit would be. I love the support in the back of the canvases that most canvases don't have. The stretch is amazing and the smooth feeling is great.
The best canvas ever. I am totally spoiled now and will never paint on any other canvas ever again.
These framed canvases are fantastic!
The canvas itself is smooth and sturdy to paint on. Great for painting detail!
These seem great, but I wasn’t quite prepared for how heavy they would be! I’m not sure how to hang them. There was also a small dent in one frame which may be able to polish out. It couldn’t have happened in transit so must have happened at the factory.
Absolutely Wonderful canvas to work on with watercolour!!
They stay as tight as a drum, they have a lovely surface and are ready to paint straight onto or by wetting the surface first with water and working wet into wet.
Easy to lift paint out and also to re-work a dried area by gently nudging the paint with the tip of a wet brush.
After the painting was finished I used a wax to seal the watercolour.
I love these new canvases and will be ordering more!!
Perfect. Same high quality as the 40mm frame. Love that I can buy this in bulk.
When I first started using the PET canvases, I found them quite challenging. I struggled to get the acrylic paint to adhere to the surface in the way I was used to, and getting started felt harder than on traditional canvases.
However, as I spent more time working with them, I realised they really suit a layered approach. Once I began building up the paint in layers, everything started to click into place. The surface allows for beautiful depth, and I found myself loving both the painting process and the finished result.
What I particularly enjoy is the smoothness of the final piece. The colours remain vibrant, and the overall finish feels contemporary and professional. The first canvases I purchased took me a while to warm to, but I later bought some of the oak-framed versions and was genuinely impressed. The quality is excellent, and I think they represent fantastic value for money.
I'm now working on my second batch of the oak-framed PET canvases and fully expect to continue using them in the future. So far, I've only used acrylics and haven't yet experimented with oils, but I'm continually learning and discovering new possibilities with this surface.
Overall, what began as a challenge has become a product I now enjoy using and would happily recommend to artists willing to take a little time to understand how best to work with it.
Beautiful review, Kim — thank you. I always compare the new surface to riding a bicycle. You already know how to ride; you've been on the same one-speed for years. Now you've got a new bike — multi-gear, even an ebike — and although you know how to ride, you need to spend some time with it to really appreciate what it can do. Thanks for sharing — I'm sure it'll resonate with other artists.
I love your canvasses! The surface is versatile and sturdy! I am very OCD, hate a floppy unneat canvas that shows creases and folds like the others. I like the very neat edges of your canvasses! You dont even have to frame your artworks, as they are so well rounded off. Your staff are also the best, they are always willing to help a gal out.
Excellent product. They look great when finished. The surface accepted paint readily and was stiff and great paint on. Very pleasing
Well wrapped and delivered.
Quality product, quality service.
I have started painting on my new stretched canvas and completely delighted with the quality. I use textures and moldings in my work. The canvas remained robust all throughout the process. I would love to explore more as I move on painting another larger body of work for a show in London.
Exactly as promised. Lovely frame, robust but sleek. Fantastic surface to paint on. Loving these!!!
Fast delivery and very well packaged. These canvases are perfect! So well made and they look fantastic. I’m very pleased with the six I’ve bought so far and will definitely be buying more.
These are the second lots of frames I've had from Graham and the team and once again I'm NOT disappointed. They are packed securely, they are EXTREMELY good canvas and the frames are perfect.
No hesitation at all in recommending ACF frames. (If I'm anywhere near them I'm going to drop in and 'blag' a coffee too!
Solid, strong, amazing quality. Fast delivery, well packaged. I will definitely be buying these again.
These canvases are such high quality. It brings me so much joy to work on them! The hard box backing allows me to combine acrylic markers with my paint without denting the canvas which brings a whole new dimension to my art. There is also an added bonus that I don’t have to spend thousands on framing afterwards. Just pop the frame back on! I’m totally hooked
