Oval Canvas (narrow) — Birch Frame 36 mm, 380 g cotton, 30×18 to 200×120 cm

Narrow Oval Canvas – birch, 36 mm

At about 5:3 the narrow oval is clearly elongated and feels more dynamic than a circle. At a gallery depth of 36 mm, the narrow oval canvas in birch with cotton stands clearly off the wall; the edges become part of the picture. The cotton (380 g/m²) goes onto the 36 mm birch stretcher triple-primed or, for your own ground, unprimed.

Birch and cotton, 36 mm: the right match?

Birch with cotton pairs a stable narrow oval stretcher with the standard acrylic fabric – also for pouring and heavy impasto. At 36 mm no picture frame is needed: the painted edges finish the work. The hard birch plies hold the tension of 380 g cotton for years, even in the largest size of 200×120 cm. Typical motifs for birch at 36 mm in this shape: landscapes, horizons and standing figures.
