U.S. Art Supply 12-Inch Round Stretched Canvas 6-Pack — Triple-Primed, Hand-Stretched 2/3" Profile

These 12-inch diameter round canvases arrive as a six-pack of durable, back-stapled panels with a 2/3" profile. Each surface is triple-coated with acid-free acrylic gesso to produce a balanced tooth that accommodates acrylics, oils, and mixed media. The frames are hand-stretched over kiln-dried stretcher bars sourced from sustainably managed forests, delivering a flat, stable foundation that resists warping and handles multiple paint layers.

How does the surface perform with different paints?

The canvases are triple-primed with acid-free acrylic gesso, giving a uniform absorbency and tooth suited to a wide range of painting media. Whether you prefer fast-drying acrylics or slower-working oils, the primed surface helps prevent excessive sinking or bleed-through, while unprimed options remain available for artists who want to size the canvas themselves.

• Triple-primed surface for balanced absorbency and tooth
• Suitable for acrylics, oils, and mixed media
• Unprimed weight 7 oz for custom priming, primed weight 12 oz ready-to-use

What are the construction and finishing details?

Each round canvas features a 2/3" profile and is stapled on the back to keep the edges clean and ready for presentation or gallery framing. The stretcher bars are kiln-dried to reduce moisture content and the hand-stretching process ensures even tension across the circular surface for a smooth painting plane.

• 2/3" depth provides a low-profile, frameable edge
• Back-stapled with staple-free front edges for neat galleries or display
• Hand-stretched over kiln-dried stretcher bars for stability

How should I prepare and care for these canvases?

Primed canvases are ready to paint straight away; wipe lightly with a dry cloth to remove dust before starting. For unprimed canvases, apply an acrylic sizing or primer to seal fibres and control absorbency. Store canvases upright in a dry, temperate area to avoid moisture damage or warping.

• Primed canvases: paint immediately after dusting
• Unprimed canvases: apply sizing or gesso before painting
• Storage: upright, dry, and out of direct sunlight to preserve shape

Who is this for? These round stretched canvases are ideal for studio painters, hobbyists, and instructors who want a consistent, ready-to-use surface in a distinctive circular format. The six-pack format suits workshops, classroom settings, and series work, while the combination of triple priming and hand-stretched construction provides a reliable option for anyone seeking quality at an accessible price. Choose the primed set for immediate painting, or the unprimed option if you prefer to customize the ground yourself.
