Review on Fredrix 5516 Stretched Canvas 16 Inch by Kim Sanchez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good all purpose screen for the price.

I am happy with these round canvases, have been using them for a few years now. They are durable and don't seem to warp. The only ROUND canvases that seem to be made by this company are Fredrix and I'm grateful I was able to find them for the specific type of art I make. All round they are a good quality product. Sometimes I had to reinforce the edges by inserting short nails or flat pins around the perimeter every 4 inches. I noticed that on some of the old canvases I had at home the glue had dried and the canvas had peeled from the edges. Otherwise they hold up well and I like the look. Many sizes to choose from. Light wood shavings work well for an interior frame, but don't let them get too damp or wet, they break down fairly quickly when exposed to moisture.

Pros
  • Ready to paint acid free acrylic with titanium primer
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
