Fredrix Archival Watercolor Canvas has an innovative surface that is durable, archival, acid-free and non-buckling. It is a fine weave cotton canvas with a specially formulated gesso coating. Provides the rigid support of canvas panels; but will not warp or become brittle with age; and thanks to patented acid-free hardboard core and archival 3M adhesive technology will survive as long as stretched works.
It won't tear like paper and handles surface scraping and scratching with ease. It performs much like cold press or rough watercolor paper.

Fredrix Watercolor Canvas may be used with all kinds of watermedia and mixed media including transparent and opaque watercolors, acrylics, watercolor inks and watercolor pencils. Apply paint to the canvas using wet on wet or wet on dry techniques. When brushed with water, the canvas stays damp longer than paper, extending working time.

Mistakes are easy to fix-you can even wash over the complete image and start over! To recover whites or highlights, use masking fluid, or just lift color with a wet brush or moist cloth. Soft synthetic brushes work especially well with Fredrix Watercolor Canvas.

To frame Fredrix Watercolor Canvas without a mat or glass, spray with a fixative, then finish with a protective coating. Then frame as you would any canvas or panel. Paintings can also be framed in classic watercolor style, under mat and glass.
