Questions artists ask

Do I need to prime or gesso this canvas before painting?

No. The canvas arrives pre-coated with our proprietary coating, ready to paint straight from the box — for oils, acrylics, fluid art and mixed media. Some artists like to add a coat of gesso for personal preference or extra absorbency on detailed work, but it isn't required. TIP: For oils, mixing mineral turps and linseed oil into your underpainting works particularly well on this surface.

Will the canvas stay tight over time?

Yes. The fabric is 100% PET, which doesn't react to humidity the way cotton or linen does, so tension stays where you set it — through daily painting and however many sessions follow. The strainer is MDF — dimensionally stable, no pine warping. Independent research at the Victoria & Albert Museum found polyester showed no measurable loss of strength under museum conditions equivalent to 80 years of display.

Can I use oils, acrylics and fluid art on it?

Yes. The 260gsm PET surface holds oils evenly without blotching, takes acrylics without absorption issues, and handles fluid art and palette knife work without sagging or denting. Fluid artists particularly note the flow of paint moves more smoothly than on traditional cotton.

How many canvases come in a pack, and what sizes are available?

Stretch Canvas is sold in packs of 4. Sizes range from small study formats up to 500mm × 500mm (20" × 20") and A1 (594mm × 841mm). Every canvas in the pack is matched in tension and finish.

Around we go!

So, I’ve been using ACF canvases for several years now, their canvases are sensational! For fine details, and a taught surface, you cannot get better! We tried the round canvas for the first time, and WOW! Unbelievable!!!

Melanie, love that you went round! Thanks for sticking with us all these years.

Impressed - first time using ACF canvas

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.

Dermod, what a review. Painting with your fingers is the ultimate test. Thanks for taking the time, and great work.

Great fun. Great product.

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.

I think your canvasses are brilliant

I think your canvasses are brilliant. I use oil paint on linen canvas so it will take a little time to get used to painting on a new surface. You asked for brutal honesty. Could you try using a different primer. I feel the paint doesn't flow as well as the linen surface I'm used to.

ACF canvases are brilliant to work on

ACF canvases are brilliant to work on.
A smooth, taute surface, although I still apply two coats of gesso before I paint in acrylics.
I honestly wouldn't want to paint on any other canvases now !

Never looking back!

A joy to paint on, smooth, taut and takes collage and mixed media superbly well! I will be sticking with these. The frames are beautifully made and set off my work perfectly.

Over the moon 🌒

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'm extremely happy with the canvases I ordered! The quality is outstanding — the surface is smooth and well-prepared, making it an absolute pleasure to paint on. You can really feel the difference when working on a canvas that’s made with care. The price is also very reasonable for such great quality. Plus, the delivery was impressively fast.

These canvasses are a game changer!

As a fluid artist I find it difficult to maintain the tension with traditional canvases but these bad boys are just next level plus the flow of the paint over them is way much smoother than a cotton one! Thankyou ACF Canvasses 🙌

Thank you Sarah, wow... these came out amazingly!
