What is a "canvas"?
A canvas is a strong, heavy fabric made from cotton or linen, commonly used as a surface for painting. It is typically stretched tightly over a wooden frame, providing a strong and durable base for different types of paint, including oil and acrylic. Canvas is preferred by artists for its texture and longevity, allowing for detailed and expressive artwork. It comes in different weights and textures, suitable for various artistic needs.
