Which weight do I need?


Lightweight canvas: Lighter-weight canvases are often made with a thinner thread, looser weave, and are easier to stretch. They come in a weight of about four to five ounces per square yard. Very lightweight canvases can be durable, but not as much as heavier fabrics. Smoothest texture.

 


Medium-weight canvas: Medium-weight canvas is made of moderately dense fabrics, usually weighing about seven to eight ounces per square yard.



Heavy-weight canvas: A heavy-weight canvas weight falls between 10 and 12 ounces per square yard. Heavier-weight canvases are better for large paintings that involve lots of paint and blending. These durable canvases are often the most expensive, constructed from thicker threads and tighter weaves. Best for Oil Painting
