Other Important Canvas Definitions

Besides just knowing the type of canvas you are painting on you should probably know some other terms that go with using a canvas. This can help you in the long run. If you hear someone referring to working on duck, they probably mean cotton duck, which is the most popular form of canvas to work on today. If you hear someone discussing picking an art canvas it isn’t quite like it sounds. Someone who picks an art canvas is actually picking off any little pieces of balled up canvas or spots that just take away from the beauty of the canvas are removed.
