Fredrix - Raw Unprimed Linen Canvas
Medium-weave linen absorbs paint naturally for authentic texture
Apply traditional rabbit skin glue and lead white ground for historical accuracy, use modern acrylic gesso for faster preparation, or paint directly onto raw fibers for contemporary effects where the fabric becomes part of the composition.
Medium weight provides structural integrity without excessive stiffness, stretching taut over bars and maintaining tension through the painting process. The balanced weave offers enough texture to grip paint while remaining fine enough for detailed work. Beyond fine art applications, scenic painters and photographers use this linen for backdrops where natural fiber texture and light absorption matter. Available in 6-yard rolls for individual projects or 30-yard rolls for studios working through substantial yardage. Fredrix sources quality linen and maintains consistent weave specifications, ensuring reliable performance whether you're following centuries-old preparation techniques or developing contemporary approaches to unprimed surfaces.
