I use the product to illustrate the colors of Africa, vibrance and people. The paint holds nicely on the canvas and dries fast compare to regular watercolor paper. i also use the paintings to create prints as well. The color does not merge too much into the canvas which is an added benefit.

Wanted to have a canvas made to use gouache paint on. After research I found that most canvases will crack or the gouache paint would flake. After painting on this canvas I did not have any of that type of trouble since it was specially made for watercolor type paint.

There is a learning curve but the effect and Cole vibrancy are worth the time spent experimenting

I used watercolors to paint wine (liquid) poured into wine glasses, and this product worked well for that. However, I am working on a couple of portraits and am ready to tear my hair out. The paint is never permanent, and hard lines are lifted and moved all over the place with a wet brush. Also, pet hair and dust in the air gravitate to the canvas like magnets. It is nothing like either watercolor paper or regular canvas. Be sure your studio is pristine, and only create loose work on these. I will try to spray fixative on some sample work to see if I can get that to adhere better.

I use this product for paintings that require a sharp line and exact placement...really, there is so little texture to deal with is makes creating so much easier!

I have done a water colour and now want to seal it. It is a stretched canvas and I want to leave it that way. How do I seal it or do I need to have it framed behind glass.

Really happy there is a stretched watercolor canvas- using mostly for acrylics. The problem is half of them are loose and have wrinkles, have to be sprayed on the back to tighten. Not sure if they will stay tight.

The surface is very smooth and handles watercolor well. I also use them for Zentangle designs and the work very well with the micron pens. Overall I would recommend these canvases anytime you need a smooth surface.
