85x56 Artfix L43U Acrylic Primed Mural Roll Canvas #L43U-85x56

Artfix L43U Universal Acrylic Primed Linen

Heavy weight acrylic primed linen canvas. Great for large and small works with a very heavy body, yet has a pleasing medium surface tooth. It has a bright white tone. 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.

My passion comes from the heavens, not from earthly musings. ♦ Peter Paul Rubens

One of the most influential Baroque painters, Peter Paul Rubens stood at the crossroads of the divine and the human. Known for his vibrant canvases and dynamic compositions, Rubens was not just a master of technique but also a conduit for higher inspirations. In the tapestry of history, Rubens is distinguished by his ability to transcend the ordinary, drawing from a realm beyond mere observation.

This statement reflects a sentiment familiar to many artists. Our creations, whether they be on canvas, in stone, or through sound, are often fueled by something intangible, a force or inspiration that feels almost celestial. Rubens reminds us that, as artists, we often seek and channel passions and inspirations that are greater than our immediate surroundings. His devotion to the divine as a source of passion serves as a beacon, encouraging us to seek our own muses, wherever they may lie, and to recognize the ethereal nature of our own creativity.
