Mont Marte Stretched Cotton Canvas Board, 40.6x40.6cm, 380GSM, Triple-Primed Surface for Acrylic, Oil & Gouache Painting

This canvas board is designed for acrylic, oil, and gouache. The triple-primed surface is ready-to-paint, allowing multiple layers and rich color application without immediate primer interference.

Triple priming adds multiple layers of gesso to create a robust, non-absorbent painting surface. It enhances color adhesion, reduces paint drying time, and helps prevent oil from seeping into the canvas, giving you a smoother, more durable surface for layering.

Key specs: Size 40.6x40.6 cm (square); surface weight 380gsm (medium-grain cotton); triple-primed with gesso; solid wooden frame to maintain surface tension; acid-free canvas for long-lasting vibrancy; smooth and durable surface that resists warping.

It’s ready to paint out of the box. The triple-primed surface is designed for immediate application with acrylic, oil, or gouache. If you’d like a smoother finish, you can lightly sand between layers and wipe away dust before applying subsequent coats.

Place the board on a stable easel or flat surface. The solid wooden frame keeps the surface taut, preventing sagging during painting. For display, you can mount or lean it on a wall as you would with a traditional canvas panel.

Avoid excessive handling to prevent surface abrasion. Clean with a soft, dry brush or cloth if needed. Do not use aggressive solvents on the primed surface. Once the painting is dry, handle with care to protect the surface from scratches.
