Why linen?
Linen is a sturdy material with a characteristic texture, often used with oil paints. It is heavier and stronger than cotton. This makes it suitable for working with heavy materials such as small objects, various mediums, and thicker layers of paint. Because linen canvases can be stretched more tightly, they are less likely to warp than with other materials. Talens also offers a wide range of cotton canvases.
