Painting Canvas & Art Surfaces

Enable your creativity with the right painting canvas or art surface for your project. No artist's space is complete without canvases, sketchbooks, or paper pads.

Our selection of affordable art supplies is great for beginners and experts. Starting your masterpiece is as easy as finding the best tools and the best surface to put it on. Luckily, we have both!

Find The Perfect Canvas

Our painting canvas comes pre-stretched and is made from fine quality cotton. Shop brands like Master’s Touch for plenty of choices from small to large canvas. Each gallery style canvas is stretched over kiln-dried stretcher bars and designed for artist-caliber work. Choose your medium and enjoy exploring the intricacies of oil, acrylic, and watercolor painting.

What will your style be? Will you become an inspiring impressionist, a daring surrealist, or do you prefer the beauty of natural landscapes? Our fine art canvas gesso boards provide unique texture.

The traveling artist will love our sketchbooks and drawing pads. Bullet journals are great for learning artists, while our paper pads feature several weights and sizes. They also showcase useful features like cold-press surfaces that are excellent for watercolor techniques!

Prepare For Fun Art Projects

If you prefer exact measurements and details, use grid paper to get those satisfying straight lines! For mixed media and school projects, we have plenty of choices for creating something unique or school spirited.

Poster boards provide a large surface you can embellish with everything from markers to colored pencils. Foam boards are great for mounting prints, pictures, and can also be used as backing for picture frames. Get out your craft knife or mat cutter and shape the board as you need.

Simple projects with the kids are also possible once you’ve chosen some of our versatile construction paper. Find the right color for your crayons and colored pencils. No project is out of reach once you have the ideal paper or canvas!

Frequently Asked Questions

How to paint on canvas?

If your canvas is not pre-primed, give it one or two coats of gesso to prime it. Then, paint a background color onto the canvas. Let it dry before moving on. Paint in layers from the background to the foreground. Make sure each layer is dry before moving on.

How to hang a canvas painting?

You can hang a canvas painting by installing hanging hardware, like D-rings and sawtooth hangers. For lightweight paintings, you can also use command strips.

How to frame a canvas painting?

Measure the height, width, and depth of your painting, then choose a frame that fits around the canvas. Traditionally, framed paintings do not have a glass front. If you choose to use glass, make sure there is a spacer mat between the canvas and the glass.
