It is made from the fibres of the flax plant and top of the range flax is harvested in Belarus. If you need your painting to last then a linen canvas is a sound investment. The threads that make up linen, known as the warp and weft threads, weigh the same, which means they are less prone to expansion or contraction as a result of moisture. Linen retains its natural oils, which helps to preserve the fibre’s flexibility and stops the canvas from going brittle. It is also regarded as having a more ‘natural’ weaved finish than cotton. As a result of its strength linen holds up to a heavy painting hand and does not grow to be slack as easily as cotton canvas. Linen Canvas, grown from the flax produced in Belarus, is still considered to be the superior choice for Artists who wish to work on a specific textured cloth. Belarussian Linen canvas is distinguished by its unique natural colour and irregular character of weave, which is the result of the round shape of the linen fibres – this texture permeates through the layers of paint, imparting a sense of depth to the work. Individual linen fibres are considerably longer and springier than cotton’s; the material is therefore rather more durable and has a livelier feel when stretched. Given their reputation and popularity among Artists, Belarussian Linens are highly-valued. Working with Linen brings the pleasure of painting on a cloth that can be specifically suited to the artist’s style and preference and carries the nostalgia of the use of a material trusted by the Old Masters.
