PHOENIX Belgian Linen Canvas for Oil Painting - 11x14 Inch/6 Pack Medium Texture, 3/4 Inch Profile - 13 Oz Triple Primed Blank Professional Stretched Archival Canvases for Acrylic Paints

I’ve painted on half a dozen of these so far and have probably painted on nearly every brand of linen I can find. These are hands down the best bang for your buck, they are leagues above the Blick student grave stretched linen (which is crappy 9oz paper thin linen) and Phoenix is much more affordable. It’s not as nice as Fredrix but that can be expected since you are paying a lot for that brand, or even far more for Masterpiece. I’d say that this brand is as good as the Winsor Newton artist grade stretched linen, and 1/3rd the price. The linen is sturdy, tight, the stretcher bars aren’t warped, and the gesso is acceptable, although it wouldn’t hurt to throw in another coat if you want a more smooth surface. Hands down my go to brand for smaller paintings. My only wish is that they would offer a 1-3/8 or 1-1/2 gallery wrapped option, or larger options such as 20x24 or 24x36.Long story short, if you are a painter and wish to experiment on linen, this is the best you’ll find for the price.

perfecto

As a hobby artist, I've tried many different brands of affordable stretched canvas. These are head and shoulders above any of the others I've tried. Sturdy, tight, excellent quality and weight and reasonably priced. Won't be buying any other brand from here on out.

I was a little hesitant about buying these at first, but after receiving, inspecting and using them I was convinced that these canvases were well worth the price !

I ordered 3pk of 16x24 and got the 6pk of 11x14. They are great value products with sturdy frame for the value you pay. The canvas is great for beginners or just practice paintings. Unfortunately I didn’t need the items immediately and was unaware of wrong products after the return date. Can still use the products but pain that now I have to make an order again and hope I get the right product now that I do need it.

This is a steal for linen canvas. The only issue you will notice is there is lots of brush hairs and dust in the gesso layers. I sanded it down smooth and added one more layer of gesso to mine. The result was a perfect linen surface as good as other brands I have paid 5xs more for. I attached a work in progress photo using acrylics on this canvas. I use a spray bottle and spray the back as I work and my acrylics behave so well on this linen. It’s my new favorite surface.

Oil paint glides on so smooth. Love these canvases!

oil painting i like that its an archival materiel and comes with the keys , smooth is good for portraits
