Great canvases at a great price. It was fun to be there.

I bought twelve 5 packs for a fun project at my work place. Only one of them had a small tear, probably from transport. Not so hot what's up. For the price it was exactly what I was looking for.

Pros
  • Primed with acid free plaster ready for painting collage drawing sketching illustration
Cons
  • Ugly Pack

Pros
  • Suitable for oil-acrylic-alkyd painting and can also be used in mixed media.
Cons
  • unreliable

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