Canvas Choosing
Normally for abstract and knife paintings, we usually use high quality lynon canvas. And for high quality protrait painting or figure paintings or scenery paintings, we use good cotton or linen canvas. Or we use canvas as per buyer's request.
Choosing Between Cotton and Linen Canvas
A helpful tip to add to your painting knowledge.
If you are worried about the longevity of your paintings or if you paint heavy impasto you should use a medium to heavy linen. The reason for this is that cotton has a very short, weak fiber and therefore when woven into thread and then into canvas it is not as strong as linen which has a longer, stronger fiber and holds together much better over an extended period of time.
