I want to use this canvas as an artistic painting surface. Is this thick enough to be stretched on a frame and to resist acrylic gesso?

It is not as thick as the regular painting canvas a person would purchase at a craft store, but I did use it to paint on. I used plain acrylic paint mixed with a fabric medium. I'm currently using it as a rug. I heard of others using regular wall paint and hanging them as curtains. If you want high quality, this probably is not your best option. However, for the price, I would try it. Worse case scenario would be to use it as a drop cloth or start a different project:)

It is quite thick and I would think it would stretch well. I don't know about the acrylic gesso.

Hi, it's best for you to contact the manufacturer or the vendor re. this special use. I am not sure.

Hello Whitney, Its just a different listing category and yes this canvas is wrapped around 0.75" thick wooden frame with hooks installed. Please let us know if there are any further queries. Thanks, Canvas Champ

I would not use them for canvas paintings, especially if they are quite large and have heavier frames. It's a personal preference. If the framed canvas has any value at all, I would recommend using picture hanging hardware that fits the size of the job. The main way I use these is for putting up product pictures in our home office.

They are not thick at all but I was not worried about them being thick. That'snot what made my decision it was because I am a new painter and wanted to start cheaper until I get better. if you want thick these are not it. are or just want a thick canvas these are probably not the ones for you. I have scraped a knife across them (butter) and it did not rip them but anything sharp definitely would.

I have not tried it for that purpose. It's like sticky paper. It will stick to anything between it and the mounting surface. I think with fabric you'd get wrinkles. Once the adhesive touches, it is not re-positionable. There are a number of paste adhesives useful for mounting canvas. I have had poor results with this 3M product and would recommend people avoid it.

I think so! Maybe you want to prime the canvas first with something better for oils.

The surface is prepared for acrylic or oil. I did not order watercolor canvas.

Yes. This is the canvas I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VLLC3S/

This particular paper is textured and matted for the look and feel of real canvas. So, although it is in fact paper, it is not smooth, like multipurpose paper. And I don't recall this being able to stretch like actual leather canvas.

Link attached below is a similar set in the studio, if you need the canvas to be stretched, then the price goes to $99.05 (EMS fee included) www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CBQ0A0Q/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk

No, it is for non inflatible canvas mainly, I think a rubber spray would work.

I painted over this with Benjamin Moore enamel paint since I was refinishing a piece of furniture, but I can't see why you couldn't paint over it with acrylic paint...

The paper is not very thick and seems to be rubberized, you should take this into account while working with it. If there are many fine detailes close enough to each other, it can stretch.

Not sure that it's canvas. It's not billy, but feels sturdy and firm. I haven't used it yet, but I think it will be fine.

I think it would be too thick. You might be able to glue it. The hand is very realistic looking.

I have not personally attempted image tranfer onto canvas, but I do use this for all my wood transfers. I dont see why this same stuff wouldnt work. Hope I was semi helpful.

It is not recommended because if the canvas flexes, the epoxy could crack. This is recommended as a top coat for rigid surfaces.
