Canvas

Canvas, a classic artistic medium made from linen fibers or hemp, serves as a versatile surface for artists of all levels. Whether you're a professional or just starting out, canvas offers a rich heritage for your creative expression, from traditional to contemporary styles.


Preparation

    Before you begin, ensure your canvas is properly prepared to make the most of your artwork.
    Apply a suitable primer to your canvas. This prepares the surface, making it ready to absorb the paint. You can find primers at art supply stores. Follow the product instructions for the best results.

    Preserving Your Artwork
    To ensure the longevity of your artwork, it's a good idea to take steps to preserve it over time.
    Unlike some other markers, SurfPaints acrylic markers don't require a special fixative for use on canvas. However, if you wish to enhance the conservation of your artwork, you can follow these steps:

    a. Opt for a water-based spray varnish to protect your canvas. Hold the can around 30 cm away from the canvas surface.
    b. Spray the varnish in slow, circular motions. This even application helps safeguard your artwork.
    The varnish can be either matte or glossy, depending on the appearance you're aiming for. Experiment to find the finish that complements your artwork the best.


    By following these simple steps, you can create stunning artworks on canvas using SurfPaints acrylic markers.

    Enjoy the process of bringing your ideas to life and preserving them for years to come!
