Review on 🎨 Art Alternatives Super Value Pack of 5 Stretched Canvases - 16 x 20 inches by Hannah Curi

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not for Serious Artists

If you are looking for a stretched screen (5/8 inch) quickly and cheaply, you have come to the right place. The frame is thin (about 5/8 inches) and the edges are easily visible under the canvas, making it difficult to get a clean, crisp edge. The canvas isn't stretched too much and isn't primed particularly well, so expect a heavy primer or an extra layer of gesso to start with. This product is a little disappointing compared to other Art Alternative canvases which are excellent. If it's important to you, you should pay extra and get more expensive ones that work really well. This one is good for students and/or beginners, and the $5/$25 price tag is probably worth it.

Pros
  • Artistic Alternatives Unbleached Cotton Canvas 4 oz All Materials
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.
