Why linen?

Linen is a sturdy material with a characteristic structure that is often used with oil paint and is heavier and stronger than cotton. This makes it suitable for working with heavy materials such as small objects, different mediums and thicker layers of paint. Because linen cloths can be stretched more tightly, the chance of warping is smaller than with other materials. Talens also offers a wide range of cotton canvases.
