Transparent primer for all colors
Linen is not only used for canvas because of its robust qualities, but artists also appreciate its appearance. That's why we use a transparent primer for our stretcher frames with linen, through which the fabric remains visible. After all, many painters prefer to incorporate the natural tone of the linen into their painting. Thanks to the transparent primer, you paint the canvas stretched on the stretcher without the colors losing their radiance. Without a primer, the colors would not adhere, but would penetrate through the canvas. The transparent primer is suitable for all common colors such as oil, acrylic, tempera and gouache or mixed colors.
Did you know? We also carry covered stretcher frames with special canvas made of linen for oil paint.
Why is linen used for stretcher frames?
Linen is made from the fibers of the flax plant and has been used for centuries to make textile fabrics. The linen fabric is very tear-resistant and therefore a traditional and popular fabric for stretching stretcher frames. The natural linen can remain visible as an effect in the picture, for example as the soil in a landscape depiction. The delicate look invites you to play with contrasts. Whether as a background for a floral depiction or for modern compositions of shapes in bright colors - the stretcher frames with linen offer you numerous opportunities to try out your painting skills!
Stretcher frames with linen: Handmade from Germany
The stretcher frames with linen come from our own production. In manual work our employees put the stretcher frames together and fix the primed canvas on it. In order to maintain stability with larger formats, we use cross braces from a certain length of the stretcher bars. We also supply tensioning wedges so that you can re-tension the canvas.
