Great quality canvas rolls to take your project next level

As part of our range of canvas and painting surfaces, we stock a selection of canvas rolls online. Canvas rolls, or unstretched canvas, is simply the canvas painting surface without the timber frame you’d expect from stretched canvas. While painting on a canvas roll requires a bit of practice, once you’ve mastered the technique, you’re bound to enjoy it as an alternative artistic base.

Use our cotton canvas rolls and enjoy mesmerising effects

With canvas roll painting, you can still use your favourite acrylic paints or oil paints, and the surface itself is exactly the same as a stretched canvas. Our range of canvas rolls includes great value cotton canvas rolls and premium quality linen canvas rolls, with primed and un-primed options available to choose from. Both our primed and un-primed canvas rolls are ultra-high quality, but when you opt for primed canvas, you’ll benefit from protection against the surface cracking. Our un-primed canvas rolls are best combined with acrylic paints in order to maintain the integrity of your work, and they can often produce effects that are like that of watercolour painting. With our primed canvas rolls, you can enjoy a dynamic surface that is reinforced to preserve your paint application.

Creating a canvas roll painting for your collection

Our rolled canvas can be easily stretched before it’s framed, and this manual process will give your creations a distinctive, unique feel. We stock both linen and cotton canvas rolls for painting, and each material offers its own benefits for artists. Our linen canvas rolls are strong, durable and supple, and it’s also ideal for larger paintings. With linen options, you’ll want to choose an oil or acrylic primer — though for cotton canvas rolls, an acrylic primer is the best option. Un-primed linen can offer an extremely rustic feel, and you can achieve the finish you’re envisaging by browsing our range of weaves available.
