Round Stretched Canvas(2)
Round canvases are gaining in popularity, and for good reason! The curved edge of a round canvas will complement many styles of art and subjects, and they are a fun way to change up your style from painting on square and rectangle pieces.
Tell Me About Round Canvases!
A Riot, our round stretched canvases are made from 100% pure white cotton canvas and are triple primed for use with acrylic or oil paint. The acid free surface will keep your artwork looking as fresh and bright as the day it was painted, so you can be confident in showing off your creation.
You can use them with oil paints, regular acrylic paints or high-flow acrylics to great effect.
What Sorts Of Things Should I Paint On A Round Canvas?
Round canvases are well suited to painting certain things or certain ways. Check out our list below for some inspiration on what to paint on one of these beautiful canvases:
- High Flow Art – the curve of a round canvas contains fluid art in an enchanting way, and the lack of a frame creates an openness that only flow art can take advantage of! Our range of high flow acrylic paints are ready to pour and intermingle wonderfully to create amazing patterns on a round canvas.
- Seascape Art – the rounded curves of waves make a circular canvas the natural choice for painting them. Our range of ocean blues and sandy yellows make painting your favourite beach a breeze!
- Patterns – curved patterns look fabulous when made on a round canvas. Use thick impasto acrylic paints to make dots, dashes, swirls and stripes in intriguing designs.
