Question 1

Do the small sizes (like 6"x6") feel sturdy, or do they flex when you paint?

Accepted Answer

Even the 6"x6" panels use thicker pine stretcher bars with mortise & tenon joints—none of that thin, stapled wood. I’ve used them for heavy acrylics and even palette knife work. No bounce at all. Great build quality across all sizes.

Question 2

Will oil paint bleed through to the back of the canvas?

Accepted Answer

Not in my experience. The 280gsm cotton duck is dense, and the seed husk fibers add extra barrier strength. I applied multiple thick oil layers on a 16"x20", waited 48 hours. Back stays completely clean. Also helps prevent sagging over time.

Question 3

Can I use water-based mediums like acrylic inks or gouache without warping?

Accepted Answer

Yes — I used heavy ink washes and wet glazing. No buckling or warping, even with pooled layers. Tension held strong. The tight weave and solid corner joints really help.

Question 4

Are the actual dimensions exactly as listed? Some sets run small.

Accepted Answer

Measured every size with a ruler — yes, they’re accurate. The 16"x20" was dead-on, same with the smaller ones. That matters when planning series or diptychs. Most budget packs cut slightly short, but this feels like a pro-grade standard.

Question 5

Are the canvases uniformly primed? I’ve had cheap sets with patchy gesso.

Accepted Answer

Yes — all canvas had even, consistent coverage. No thin spots or brush marks in the gesso. Paint went on smoothly from edge to edge. You can tell they’re machine-primed under controlled conditions, not hand-dipped and rushed.
