L21C Artfix Single Oil Primed Belgian Linen Roll - 85" x 5.5 yd

A perfectly textured linen with one coat of 'lead like' priming. L21C Artfix Belgian linen is a strong, tight weave all purpose linen perfect for landscapes but adaptable for virtually any style of painting. The linen is beautifully hand primed with one coat of Artfix's unique and proprietary “lead-like” oil primer. The primer acts like lead primed linen, except without toxicity, and has a unique absorbency that allows paint to “bite” into the surface for luminous undertones that glow from within.    The secret to Artfix's exceptional quality, smooth surface and luminous undertones lies in their unique protective formula that isolates each individual fiber. This sealant prevents the acid in oil-based primers from penetrating and destroying the canvas over time. After the sealant is applied, as many as four layers of oil-based primer are applied, ensuring that paint will permanently adhere to the canvas without cracking, peeling or flaking when utilizing professionally accepted standards. Artfix offers a conservator-grade painting surface that, when treated properly, preserves finished art century after century. It is this close attention to detail that makes Artfix a premium product for artists. Artfix Belgian linens are created for serious painters who insist on a superior surface and archival quality. For over 50 years, Artfix has been internationally recognized as the finest linen with a true conservator grade surface. All linens are meticulously hand primed in a small village in Provence, France by the Narozni family. Featured Artist: "I count on Raymar supports for all my artwork, be it plein air, studio or larger scale museum and commission work. In particular, I use the Artfix L21C. It is my preferred canvas overall and it works perfectly for landscape and figure, which I do both equally now. The L21C panels have the ideal combination of being perfectly absorbent with an excellent smooth surface and high-quality linen.I’m never worried the panels warp, even in sun and cold painting conditions when I travel to paint landscapes all over the world. Raymar is such a pleasure to work with and always helpful, even with rush orders or big commissions. Over the years my work and subject might change and evolve… but my panel choice remains the same: Raymar. Thank you Emilie and Catherine for your superb fine art materials and support!" - Vanessa Rothevanessarothefineart.com
