Troubleshooting
Canvas surface feels rough or inconsistent.
This is characteristic of unbleached cotton. For a smoother finish, apply one or more coats of gesso and sand lightly between coats. Ensure gesso is fully dry before painting.
Frame appears damaged upon arrival.
Inspect the packaging carefully. If the frame is damaged, contact the retailer or manufacturer with proof of purchase and photographic evidence for a resolution.
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure the canvas is clean and dry. If using oil paints or heavy mediums, a layer of primer or gesso is recommended for better adhesion and longevity.
