With over 100 years of experience in crafting the finest artist
quality canvases, Claessens is recognised worldwide as a leader in
the field. Each Claessens canvas undergoes a rigorous treatment and
process to meet different requirements for artists.First, all raw
canvases are sized with a synthetic PVA glue. For oil primed
canvases, the next step involves applying a primer of zinc white
paint bound with linseed oil to the glued linen, by means of two
knives. The canvas is then put into a drying room for three days
where it air-dries naturally.After this first initial drying time,
the canvas is then sanded and a coating layer based on titanium
white is applied to the canvas by means of two knives and a roller.
The canvas is then placed in the drying room for another ten
days.Claessens' Oil Primed Canvases are suitable for oil paint.For

manufacturing a Claessens canvas, click herePlease note: the oil
prepared cloths are finished with 2 layers of oil paint based on
linseed oil. Linseed oil tends to turn yellow in the dark: for
example on the roll or when another object is placed against it.
However, if you put it back in the light, any discolouration will
disappear. This is a known and normal phenomenon. This does not
prevent painting on the canvas, it only has an optical effect.
