Tri-Art’s F.Q. Canvas Pads are double primed with titanium white gesso. Made with an eco blend of 50% hemp and 50% cotton, they are suitable for acrylic, oil and mixed media.Tri-Art is a company that has always been committed to being both environmentally conscious and responsible—that is why they use a hemp blend canvas. Hemp is selected not only because it is an ecologically friendly material, but also because the fibres have antifungal and antibacterial properties, which creates a naturally more mould resistant product than can be obtained from solely cotton fibres. As well, hemp fibres are stronger and will break down less easily than cotton fibres, leading to a longer-lasting product.
