Art Materials Australia (AMA) Thin Framed Student Canvases 18mm Canvases

Student canvases: 30×30″ Thin Frame AMA Canvas with an 18mm profile edge are of excellent quality, so much so that they can pass as an artist-grade canvas. The best thing about them is they come at a very affordable price. 

Art Materials Australia (AMA) thin-framed student canvases are perfect for anyone on a budget. These canvases are acid-free, non-yellowing, triple primed with titanium white gesso and are made of a dense 10oz cotton duck fabric. They feature a sturdy pine frame and are available in all the standard canvas sizes.  

Art Materials Australia (AMA) thin-framed student canvases are available in bulk box lots, making them the perfect choice to give students and children the experience and feel of painting on a professional canvas.

There are a couple of reasons why thin-framed canvases are more affordable than the standard 38mm, and this is because of the materials from which they are made. More than likely, a thin framed canvas will be made from a lighter weight (less dense) cotton duck fabric than that preferred by professional artists. The timber supports in the back and stretcher bars are also usually minimalised. The thinner profile that these canvases feature also allows for less timber use than the thicker frames require.    

The most popular sizes for thin-frame canvases that teachers prefer are generally smaller as you can get more value for your money. These small canvases, bought in bulk, especially the 5×7” or 6×4” sizes, are great for mini-exhibitions. Purchasing large quantities at economical prices allows anyone to hone their painting techniques without breaking the budget. 

Tip

Small thin-framed canvases are also highly cost-effective as far as mediums go. More oversized canvases mean more paint. 

When using a thin-framed canvas, you want to keep them smallish because they do not have support in the frame compared to larger canvases. The frames are material-efficient (less wood in the frame), making the timber framing too weak to support heavy canvas fabric and mediums. 

If you go large when buying a thin framed canvas, you must be careful the frame doesn’t twist or warp. 

Tip

If you want to do a medium or large canvas and do not want to frame it with a picture frame afterwards, buy a standard 38mm thick profile canvas.

Canvas has stood the test of time; it has been used for over 500 years by Master painters. There are different types of canvas, and it remains the most popular support for painting for many reasons:

• Any paint binds well to a canvas weave: acrylic, oil, and watercolour.
• Canvas has stood the test of time; It has been used since the 14th century by Master painters cited Wikipedia. 
• Unlike wood panels, canvas fabric is lightweight and portable: essential when painting En Plein Air.
• The denser the thread count of a canvas, the more it weighs and the higher the quality and archival longevity.

Refrain from letting the price discourage you regarding the Art Materials Australia (AMA) thin-framed student canvas range. These canvases are great for the beginner, student and intermediate creator.
