85''x11y Artfix L22U Acrylic Primed Roll Canvas #L22U-85x11y

Artfix L22U Universal Acrylic Primed Linen

Delightful hand-primed medium tooth linen with a medium tooth and texture. The "U" in the style name is for universal acrylic primed, which means that it works for virtually all paint types. The unique formulation mimics many attributes of oil-based primers, yet retains the resilience and flexibility characteristic of acrylic priming. Distinct from the typical glossy acrylic primers, this canvas surface has a more matte finish, enhancing its absorbency. This quality ensures superior adhesion for a diverse array of artistic media.

This universal acrylic primed linen is particularly well-suited for oil and acrylic paints, and its absorbent nature makes it an excellent choice for drawing media like oil sticks, pastels, charcoal, and graphite. When mounted on a rigid surface, the universal primed canvas and its smoothish texture even accommodates fragile mediums like egg tempera and caseins with exceptional results.

Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) Primer Pigment

There is something that is much more scarce, something rarer than ability. It is the ability to recognize ability. ♦ Elbert Hubbard

As a pivotal figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement, Hubbard was keenly aware of the plethora of talent around him. But beyond this, he possessed an uncanny knack for recognizing and nurturing potential. The Roycroft community, a hub for artisans, was a testament to Hubbard's vision of gathering and fostering talent. This quote underscores the invaluable gift of discernment: to recognize and appreciate talent in others, and in doing so, refine one's own artistic sensibilities.

Through his endeavors, Hubbard emphasized the importance of community and collaboration in the world of art. By acknowledging and celebrating the abilities of fellow artists, one not only broadens their artistic horizon but also creates an environment of mutual growth and inspiration, elevating the entire artistic community.
