Linen by nature is stronger and durable than cotton and is proven
to stand the test of time. Although more affordable and the most
popular today, cotton canvas is not as strong and deteriorates
faster than linen. Artfix Linen has been handcrafted for over 30
years in Provence, France by the Narozni family. The warm, dry
climate is ideal for slow, even drying of primed canvas surfaces.
Artfix Linen has superb archival characteristics: each canvas is
guaranteed not to peel, crack or flake, and will not fluctuate or
lose stability due to changes in humidity and temperature. Artfix
linen is made from a strong, tightly woven extra fine grade fabric
that is double sized to protect the material from the adverse
effects of oil primers and oil paints. Up to 6 layers of ground is
ensures an utterly flawless support surface. Four coats of hand
applied Lead-Style Oil Primer provides the qualities and
characteristics of traditional lead-based ground without its
toxicity. This oil primed surface provides unique absorbency
allowing oil paint pigment to sink into the surface of the canvas,
increasing the dimensionality and depth of the painting and
providing a glow that radiates from within the painting when
over-painted with thin glazes.
