With Over 100 Years Of Experience In Crafting The Finest Artist Quality Canvases, Claessens Is Recognised Worldwide As A Leader In The Field. Each Claessens Canvas Undergoes A Rigorous Treatment And Process To Meet Different Requirements For Artists. First, All Raw Canvases Are Sized With A Synthetic PVA Glue. For Oil Primed Canvases, The Next Step Involves Applying A Primer Of Zinc White Paint Bound With Linseed Oil To The Glued Linen, By Means Of Two Knives. The Canvas Is Then Put Into A Drying Room For Three Days Where It Air-dries Naturally. After This First Initial Drying Time, The Canvas Is Then Sanded And A Coating Layer Based On Titanium White Is Applied To The Canvas By Means Of Two Knives And A Roller. The Canvas Is Then Placed In The Drying Room For Another Ten Days. Claessens' Oil Primed Canvases Are Suitable For Oil Paint.
