There are many kinds of canvas on the market but we use only premium artist-grade that have given our customers the best satisfaction over the lifetime of the paintings.  The most we use is linen canvas.  Linen canvas is made of more expensive material and is more durable.  It also holds colors and shadings on the painting for many years.  We also use synthetic canvas which are excellent for finer works, like realistic portraits or architectural paintings.  The third type of canvas we use is “cracked” canvas.  This is usually requested for renaissance style paintings because it gives an aged/antiqued effect.
