CLASSIC VALUE COTTON GALLERY CANVAS – 12" × 16" – 1-3/8" DEEP
Vendor: Hull’s Art Supply & Framing
Manufacturer Model: GM-1216
Compact but gallery-ready, the 12" × 16" Classic Value Cotton Gallery Canvas 🎨🖼️✨ offers artists a professional painting surface with the added impact of a bold gallery-depth profile. This versatile format is perfect for portraits, still lifes, small landscapes, and expressive studio studies.
Featuring a 1-3/8" gallery-depth frame, this canvas provides substantial edges that allow artwork to be displayed beautifully without a traditional frame. The sides are finished using MasterWrap™ back-stapled construction, leaving the edges smooth and paintable with neatly folded corners so artists can extend their composition around the sides for a clean, contemporary display. 🖌️📐
Each canvas is stretched using precision pneumatic equipment, creating the signature drum-tight tension artists rely on for a responsive painting surface. This firm, balanced tension provides excellent control whether working with delicate layers or expressive brushstrokes. 🥁🎨
Constructed from 100% cotton canvas, the material begins as 7 oz raw cotton and is triple-primed with archival acrylic titanium gesso, producing a 10 oz finished painting surface ready for paint straight from the studio. The medium tooth texture grips paint beautifully while allowing smooth blending and refined detail work. ✨
The canvas is stretched over solid wood stretcher bars sourced from sustainable forests, providing strength and long-term durability.
