A stretched canvas is a piece of fabric, usually made of cotton or linen, that is tightly stretched over a wooden frame called a stretcher. The fabric is prepared and primed with a coating, creating a smooth surface suitable for painting. Stretched canvases are commonly used by artists for oil, acrylic, and mixed media paintings, as the taut surface provides a firm base for the paint. The edges of the canvas are typically wrapped around the stretcher bars, allowing the artwork to be displayed without the need for a frame.
