Buying Canvas in Pakistan: A Complete Guide for Artists
If you are an artist in Pakistan, choosing the right canvas is as important as your paints and brushes. A high-quality canvas gives your painting the right texture, durability, and finish while allowing your creativity to flow freely.
Whether you are looking for pre-stretched canvases, canvas rolls, canvas boards, or mini canvases for practice, understanding what to choose can help you get the best results in your artwork.
What is a Canvas for Painting?
A canvas is a woven fabric, usually made from cotton or linen, stretched over a wooden frame and primed with gesso to create a stable painting surface for acrylic, oil, and mixed media.
It is the foundation of your painting, influencing how colors appear and how your brushstrokes behave.
