Talens supplies a wide range of high-quality surfaces to work on:
- Canvas stretchers of excellent quality in both cotton and linen. Universally prepared and suitable for various artists’ paints.
- Canvas boards made of universally prepared cotton stretched on MDF board.
- Roll canvas in various prepared types of textile, both finely and coarsely woven.
- Talens paper is of very high quality and has been specially developed for architects and designers but is also highly suitable for many other applications.
Talens offers a wide range of stretched canvasses. These canvasses are made of 100% linen and available in various sizes.
All of Talens’ premium-quality canvasses are made in Europe with strong, FSC-certified wood and have been universally prepared to be used with oil, acrylic and water-mixable oil colours. The high-quality primer is applied by hand and consists of one layer of natural glue and two layers of acid-free, acrylic-based gesso. This primer guarantees excellent stretching properties and stops oil from penetrating to provide excellent adhesion for oil and acrylic colours.
This canvas is made of 100% linen, weighs 360 grams per m² and offers a medium texture of 12.5 x 12.5 threads per cm². The laths of this canvas are 2 x 3.5 cm thick.
Why linen?
Linen is a sturdy material with a characteristic texture that is often used with oil paint and is heavier and stronger than cotton. This makes it highly suitable for use with heavier materials such as small objects, various mediums and thicker coats of paint. Linen can be stretched tighter than other materials, which minimises the chances of the canvas warping or bending. Talens offers a wide range of cotton canvasses as well.
