Primed Canvas - 8 Oz Cotton Duck | Triple-Primed Lightweight Artist Canvas for Everyday Creativity
Experience professional-grade painting with the freedom of a lightweight canvas: our 8 oz primed canvas (10.1 oz after triple coating) is meticulously crafted for artists who want excellent performance without the weight of heavier primed fabrics. Triple-primed with acid-free, acrylic-based gesso and carefully sanded between coats, it delivers the perfect tooth for smooth, consistent brushwork and outstanding paint adhesion.
The base 8 oz cotton duck provides a flexible yet stable foundation that rolls up easily for plein-air sessions, travels well, and stretches without sagging on small to medium frames. The triple gesso layers create a bright white, archival-quality surface that prevents paint sinking and ensures vibrant, long-lasting colors – ideal for acrylics, oils, gouache, and mixed media.
Available in generous 63" and 72" widths, this canvas gives you more usable area per yard than most competitors, meaning fewer seams for large panels and less waste for smaller projects. Whether you're a beginner building confidence, a student practicing daily, or a professional looking for a portable yet dependable surface, this primed canvas combines affordability, portability, and archival excellence.
Why Marsidian 8 oz Triple-Primed Canvas Stands Out
- Triple-primed with acid-free acrylic gesso – superior tooth and stability
- Carefully sanded between coats – no grit, no uneven texture
- 8 oz base (10.1 oz finished) – lightweight yet strong enough for serious work
- 100% cotton duck weave – breathable, flexible, and archival-safe
- Bright white surface – colors pop vividly with no yellowing over time
- Generous widths: 63" and 72" – more coverage, fewer seams
- Ready-to-paint right out of the roll – no additional prep needed.
