Strathmore - 300 Series Canvas Pads

300 Series Canvas Pads

Paint outdoors without hauling stretched canvas or heavy panels

100% cotton duck, triple-primed and ready to paint, in a format that fits your backpack. The medium grain texture provides proper tooth for paint adhesion while the substantial 8-ounce primed weight handles bold brushwork and palette knife techniques without buckling or flexing excessively.

Each sheet tears cleanly from its tape-bound edge, eliminating the frustration of ragged edges when you're ready to frame or mount finished work. The acid-free triple priming creates a stable foundation for oils, acrylics, and water-mixable oils, no additional preparation required. Simply tear out a sheet and start painting.

Four size options accommodate different working methods, from quick color studies to more developed compositions. Studio painters appreciate having expendable surfaces for experimentation without committing to stretched canvas, while location painters value the weight savings and protection the pad format provides. The priming withstands repeated corrections and layering, making these pads equally suitable for direct alla prima work or more deliberate multi-session approaches.
