The final characteristic of elasticity, resistance, heaviness, absorbency and grain depend on the quality and quantity of the warp and weft threads, which are the structure of every canvas.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

UNIVERSAL PRIMING: a composition with a basis of white titanium and resin gives canvases a really white and homogeneous coloration and allows oil, acrylic and tempera colours to adhere perfectly. Universally primed canvases, used principally by those who love painting with mixed techniques, are available in different cloth: cotton, jute, polyester, mixed linen and linen.

GESSO PRIMING: gesso preparation completes P.E.R. line primed canvases. This priming, done an cotton or linen canvases, contains a high percentage of gesso. Even though it was created for oil-painting, since it allows a quicker drying process, it fits all pictorial techniques, including water-colours.

OIL PRIMING: such a preparation, perfect to paint with oil colours, is available on different types of cotton and linen. This extremely innovative preparation is the result of long studies and differs from the traditional oil preparation its elasticity and flexibility. On oil primed canvas the line is fluid and more delicate, almost veiled; oil colours adhere in a perfect way and, thank to the little absorbency of the material, they remain always bright and natural.
