Fredrix - Mixed Media Archival Canvas Boards
Mixed Media Archival Canvas Boards
Work across watercolor, acrylic, and ink on archival canvas that won't warp
Natural cotton weave meets archival engineering in canvas boards designed specifically for water-based techniques. Fredrix formulates the acid-free coating to accept fluid media, watercolor, acrylic, alcohol ink, airbrush, without the buckling or fiber breakdown that compromises standard canvas. The surface responds to wet applications with controlled absorption, maintaining crisp edges for precise work while allowing enough flow for washes and gradations.
Tempered hardboard backing provides the rigid support water media demands. No warping mid-wash, no surface flex that cracks dried layers, no brittleness developing over time. Fredrix bonds cotton canvas to board using proprietary acid-free adhesive, eliminating the deterioration risk that standard mounting introduces. Every material, from sizing to adhesive to backing, meets non-acidic archival standards.
Cotton's natural texture reads through the coating, providing subtle tooth that grabs pigment and adds dimension to flat applications. The combination works for techniques that need both control and spontaneity: layered watercolor that stays luminous, alcohol ink that spreads predictably, airbrush gradations that remain even. Rigid support means you can work vertically without drips, tape edges without surface distortion, and frame finished pieces directly without additional mounting.
