CLASSIC GALLERY COTTON CANVAS 16X16

CLASSIC VALUE COTTON GALLERY CANVAS – 16" × 16" – 1-3/8" DEEP
Vendor: Hull’s Art Supply & Framing
Manufacturer Model: GM-1616

Bold square format meets gallery-ready construction with the 16" × 16" Classic Value Cotton Gallery Canvas 🎨🖼️✨ — a professional painting surface designed for artists who love the clean balance and modern feel of a square composition.

Built with a 1-3/8" gallery-depth profile, this canvas offers substantial edges that allow artwork to be displayed beautifully without a 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 edges for a contemporary gallery presentation. 🖌️📐

Each canvas is stretched using precision pneumatic equipment, producing the signature drum-tight tension artists rely on for a responsive painting surface. This firm, balanced tension provides excellent control whether applying delicate layers of paint or bold expressive strokes. 🥁🎨

Constructed from 100% cotton canvas, the material begins as 7 oz raw cotton and is triple-primed with archival acrylic titanium gesso, creating a 10 oz finished painting surface ready for paint straight from the studio. The medium tooth texture holds paint beautifully while allowing smooth blending and detailed brushwork. ✨

The canvas is stretched over solid wood stretcher bars sourced from sustainable forests, providing strength and long-term structural stability.
