You know how you go into Michael’s and they have three different types of canvases artist 1, artist 2, and artist 3
I am wondering how many artists use artist 1canvas versus artist 2 canvas?
And if they had any experiences with galleries not accepting artist 1 canvas over artist 2 canvases
I don’t paint on canvas very often any more unless I am painting large but when I did I used 3 and occasionally 2. I found the quality of 1 was more geared toward student work. The canvas thickness was far too thin.
If you are submitting work to a gallery use 2 at least. I don’t know that a gallery would reject work solely on the basis of the canvas itself, unless it makes the art itself look cheap. I would not paint on 1 at all if you are looking to have your work in a gallery, in shows etc. to be sold.
3 is generally meant to be used without framing, the sides painted for a more contemporary look. The profile thickness would make it difficult to frame.
