Canvas Pads contain actual sheets of cotton canvas that have been primed and are ready to accept paint. Oils and acrylics work well on this surface. Once the painting is completed, it can be framed or stretched for display. This is a good option for artists with little studio space or for quick sketches and studies.

Canvas Textured Papers are made from wood pulp or a combination of wood pulp and cotton that when produced are textured to simulate a cloth weave. Many of them have been specially treated to accept oil paints, as well as any water-based or dry media. Use these papers for practice works, instruction, or quick studies and sketches.

Acrylic Painting Papers are an inexpensive solution for acrylic painting. Acrylic paper should be heavy weight to prevent warping, have a textured surface to assure adhesion, and have sizing to prevent absorption. The medium must adhere to the surface, but not be absorbed into the substrate. Use it for practice works, instruction, studies, and sketches. If longevity must be measured in generations, and not years, stretched canvas or hardboard panels would be more stable options.

Oil Painting Papers are made from wood pulp or a combination of wood pulp and cotton that when produced are textured to simulate a cloth weave. Because oil can damage paper over time, these papers are specially prepared with gesso or primers to prevent this deterioration. Use these papers for practice works, instruction, or quick studies and sketches.
