Construct custom painting supports with tightly woven raw cotton duck
Heavy cotton duck with tight, consistent weave construction provides the foundation serious painters need for building custom supports. This unprimed canvas arrives in its natural state, no sizing, no primer, giving you complete control over every layer of preparation. The substantial weight handles aggressive stretching without sagging, while the close weave creates a smooth, even surface that accepts your chosen grounds uniformly.
Raw canvas like this opens up preparation techniques that pre-primed surfaces simply don't allow. Apply rabbit skin glue for traditional oil painting grounds, experiment with casein or acrylic dispersions for contemporary approaches, or size and prime specifically for your working methods. Theater designers and photographers appreciate how the neutral greige color accepts custom dyes and paints for backdrop work, while the fabric's weight ensures it hangs properly without excessive wrinkling.
Fredrix sources select cotton fibers and weaves them to exacting standards, producing canvas that maintains consistent quality across the roll. Whether you're stretching large-scale paintings, constructing triptychs, or fabricating theatrical scenery, this unprimed duck provides the reliable base material that custom work requires.
