Canvas & Linen Sampler

Painting surfaces can make the difference between a pleasurable painting experience or a frustrating struggle. Here is a great opportunity to try out five different kinds of canvas and linen. Check it out at Jerry’s Artarama: http://www.jerrysartarama.com/discount-art-supplies/Canvas-and-Boards/Canvas-Pads/Ultimate-Canvas-Sampler-Pad.htm. This 6” x 8” pad contains two actual canvas pieces of five different brands, including Old Holland linen. One sample is clear primed linen—this holds some interesting possibilities. The product description notes that the samples are labeled on the back, however in the pad I got they were not. The front cover clearly illustrates them so it was easy to mark the backs myself. Let me know if you get them and what your favorite surface is.
