Canvas painting is basically painting on a canvas. You may have heard of painting, oil painting, pastel Painting Acrylic painting but not canvas painting. If you have not realise by now… you CAN paint on canvas. The canvas I am talking about is not your canvas bag but a more professional kind of canvas that can be bought and be framed up when you are done with your masterpiece.

We will start with the canvas itself. The canvas can be bought at an art shop. There are many sizes of canvas available in the market. There are many types pre-stretched too. Some of them are:

1) Decorative and Miniature

2) Traditional Profile Cotton

3) Deep Profile Cotton

4) Traditional Profile Linen

5) Deep Profile Linen

Basically, different types of canvas have different texture and weight. Decorative and miniature canvases are usually used for craft purposes. Deep Profile Cotton canvas is usually the canvas with the highest quality.

What you need to know when you buy the canvas is what type of paint and what type of painting you are doing. If you are looking for a more textured painting, you should go for the medium textured canvas. Textured canvas like a silk canvas will be recommended if you are doing traditional art.
