Fredrix 16 x 20 White Canvas Pad — 10-Sheet Acrylic-Primed, Double-Primed Archival Surface for Oils & Acrylics

Fredrix Creative Series White Canvas Pad, 16" x 20", is a 10-sheet pad of acrylic-primed, archival-quality canvas sheets designed for easy travel, classroom use, and versatile painting techniques.

These 16" x 20" canvas sheets from Fredrix are double-primed with an acid-free acrylic titanium gesso and delivered in a convenient pad format so artists can paint flat, transport work easily, or mount and stretch finished pieces. Each pad contains ten uniform, medium-texture sheets produced just north of Atlanta, Georgia, providing a balance of tooth and smoothness that accommodates oils, acrylics, water-soluble oils, markers and spray paints without excessive sizing or prep.

What makes this canvas pad ready for workshops and travel?

The pad format keeps sheets flat and protected, so you can work on location and stack wet or dry pieces without worrying about individual loose canvases. Lightweight and portable, it fits into backpacks, studio carts, or a car trunk for plein air sessions or classroom demonstrations.

• Ten sheets per pad for multiple exercises or series work
• Pad backing provides support while painting without a board
• Lightweight, easy to transport to classes or outdoor sites

How does the surface handle different painting mediums?

The medium texture of the acrylic-primed surface offers enough tooth for paint adhesion while remaining receptive to detail work. Because the canvas is double-primed with acrylic titanium gesso, it accepts oils, acrylics, alkyds, paint markers and spray paints with predictable layering and minimal seepage.

• Versatile for oils, acrylics, alkyds, and water-soluble oils
• Compatible with permanent and paint markers plus spray paints
• Uniform priming reduces the need for additional ground preparation

Can finished sheets be stretched, framed, or mounted?

Yes — each sheet is suitable for stretching over stretcher bars, mounting to a rigid support, or matting and framing under glass. The archival quality and double priming make these sheets a reliable option for works intended to be sold, exhibited, or stored long-term.

• Archival acrylic prime minimizes yellowing and provides permanence
• Sheets accept conventional mounting and stretching techniques
• Ready for framing, display, or further conservation treatments

How consistent is the texture and finish across the pad?

Fredrix controls priming and finishing to deliver a consistent medium texture across all ten sheets, so studies and series remain uniform in feel and appearance. This consistency helps when producing multiple works in the same session or practicing techniques that rely on a predictable ground.

• Uniform, medium texture suitable for brushes and palette knives
• Double-primed for even absorbency and colour response
• Manufactured in the U.S., ensuring quality control and consistency

Who is this for? The Fredrix Creative Series White Canvas Pad, 16" x 20", is aimed at students, workshop leaders, plein air painters, and hobbyists who want archival, portable surfaces without the commitment of stretched canvases. It also suits professional artists experimenting with studies, colour tests, or quick commissions where convenience and reliable priming matter. If you need a portable, multipurpose canvas option that works across paint types and is ready for stretching or framing, this pad provides balanced texture, consistent priming, and ten practical sheets per pad.
