L64C Artfix Linen Panels - 3/16" Gatorfoam

A quadruple 'lead like' oil primed Belgian linen on lightweight, archival Gatorfoam. L64C Artfix Belgian linen is a very fine, tight weave linen and a favorite of professional artists. The linen is beautifully hand primed with four coats of Artfix's unique & 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 and create luminous undertones that glow from within.   This linen is mounted to our 3/16" Gatorfoam panels. Gatorfoam is an extremely light yet strong archival board made from polystyrene foam between two wood-fiber facers. These panels are ideal for travel and large panels when weight is a concern. FEATURES of Artfix L64C: Sized twice with specially formulated sizing to completely seal the fabric 4 coats of 'lead-like' oil primer for the qualities of lead with no toxicity Unique absorbency paint can "bite" into surface for permanent adhesion Extraordinary depth of color and luminous undertones Fine, tight weave surface is versatile for both portraits and landscapes 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: "The Artfix L64C quadruple oil primed linen is my surface of choice. The linen holds the integrity of the brushwork better than any surface I have tried in the past. As an artist, it is invaluable to have tools that help you achieve and maintain your original vision and intention as you work. The L64C does this for me. Not only does it help maintain the freshness of thin washes, it holds thick paint remarkably well and it is a very sturdy surface for thicker palette knife work. I’m extremely pleased with the variety of effects I am able to achieve while painting on this linen. Great art begins with inspiration but it is created with quality materials like Raymar." - Michelle Dunawaydunawayfineart.com
