Choosing the right canvas? Don’t stop at size! 📏 The weight of your canvas helps determine how large your painting can be, and how thick and substantial you can make the paint.
🔹 Lightweight (7-8 oz) → Best for thin paint layers
🔹 Medium (10 oz) → A versatile choice for most paintings
🔹 Heavy (12+ oz) → Great for thick paint & large works
Next time you pick a canvas, check the weight—your art will thank you! 🎨
