Round Surfaces - canvases and wooden panels(5)

Tell Me About Round Canvases!

A Riot, our round stretched canvases are made from 100% pure white cotton canvas and are triple primed for use with acrylic or oil paint. The acid free surface will keep your artwork looking as fresh and bright as the day it was painted, so you can be confident in showing off your creation.

You can use them with oil paints, regular acrylic paints or high-flow acrylics to great effect.

What Sorts Of Things Should I Paint On A Round Canvas?

Round canvases are well suited to painting certain things or certain ways. Check out our list below for some inspiration on what to paint on one of these beautiful canvases:

  • High Flow Art – the curve of a round canvas contains fluid art in an enchanting way, and the lack of a frame creates an openness that only flow art can take advantage of! Our range of high flow acrylic paints are ready to pour and intermingle wonderfully to create amazing patterns on a round canvas.
  • Seascape Art – the rounded curves of waves make a circular canvas the natural choice for painting them. Our range of ocean blues and sandy yellows make painting your favourite beach a breeze!
  • Patterns – curved patterns look fabulous when made on a round canvas. Use thick impasto acrylic paints to make dots, dashes, swirls and stripes in intriguing designs.

All You Need For Painting On A Round Canvas

Our online store has everything you need to create some beautiful art on our round canvases. Here are some tools and accessories we recommend:

  • Our oil and acrylic paints will look gorgeous against the crisp white background of these canvases. Try regular acrylic, impasto acrylic and high flow acrylic for different effects.
  • You can use paintbrushes to create fine details in your art, or a painting knife to lay down smooth layers of colour or sharp lines.
  • Keep your paints clear and separate in one of our plastic or metal palettes. They are all easy to clean and lightweight, enabling you to keep painting for longer!
  • Add some subtle sparkles to your art with our gorgeous pearl pigments. They are a great way to highlight parts of your artwork and can be used to create pearl paints - or just add them to your acrylics to give them a glittery effect.
