Masterpiece Elite Portrait Smooth Linen Canvas

Masterpiece Elite Portrait Smooth Linen Canvas offers an ultra-smooth painting surface that's ideal for portraiture. Painters can realize maximum luminosity as the brush dances over the surface, which is conservator-approved for archival quality.

Belgian linen is hand-primed with your choice of oil or acrylic primer and then impeccably stretched on finest-quality, 1½" profile, solid wood stretcher bars with keyable cross-braces from a renewable Pacific Northwest source. Larger sizes feature custom-size, corner diamond braces.
