Stretched Canvas - 25x25cm - 280gsm

The canvas measures 25cm by 25cm (approximately 9.8 inches by 9.8 inches).

GSM stands for 'grams per square meter'. A 280gsm canvas indicates the weight and density of the fabric, suggesting a medium-weight, durable canvas suitable for various art applications.

Yes, this canvas is suitable for oil painting. The 280gsm material provides a good surface, though artists typically apply an oil primer or gesso before painting to further protect the canvas fibers and ensure optimal paint adhesion.

While slight texture is normal, minor imperfections can sometimes be smoothed with a fine-grit sandpaper very gently before painting, or incorporated as part of the artistic texture. Ensure the canvas was not damaged during shipping or handling.

The 280gsm canvas is suitable for most mediums, but very thin washes of certain paints might absorb quickly. Consider applying a primer or gesso layer before painting if a less absorbent surface is desired for specific techniques.

Minor warping can sometimes occur due to humidity changes. Place the canvas flat under a heavy, flat object (like books) in a stable environment for a few days. Persistent warping may indicate a defect in the frame, and further support might be needed if it affects the artwork.
