Panart Stretched Cotton Canvas, 13x18 cm, Compact

The surface is described as multi-medium, suitable for oils, acrylics, and poster colours. Drying times and handling will vary by medium, so you can choose based on your preferred technique.

Pre-primed means the canvas surface already has a primer layer (gesso or similar) applied so it's ready to paint. The primer reduces absorbency and helps paint adhere better, though you may still want to shear or lightly sand between layers for a smooth finish.

Size: 13x18 cm (5"x7"). Material: cotton fabric. Priming: pre-primed. Construction: mounted on sturdy stretcher bars to resist warping. Suitable for oils, acrylics, and poster colours.

Store and work with the canvas flat when possible. If you notice warping during drying, apply gentle, even pressure on the back of the canvas or re-tension slightly if needed. Keeping it away from high humidity and temperature fluctuations helps too.

Perfect for small studies, test runs of new techniques, mini portraits or scenes, practice pieces, and compact displays or gift pieces. It’s great for artists who want a portable, ready-to-paint surface.

Uncap your paints, lay out your mediums, and prime the initial layer with a thin coat if desired. Let each layer dry before adding the next to avoid lifting. Use appropriate brushes and clean up with the right solvents or water depending on your medium.
