Mont Marte Premium Double Thick Canvas – 101.6 × 101.6 cm (40″ × 40″) Square

Need a big, beefy blank canvas that’s exhibition-ready straight out of the shrink-wrap? The Mont Marte Premium Double Thick Canvas – 101.6 × 101.6 cm is the deep-edge hero your next masterpiece deserves. Triple-primed 380 gsm cotton duck hugs a 38 mm kiln-dried pine frame, so you get gallery-worthy stability without the gallery price tag. Big enough for bold abstracts, square enough for on-trend grids, and tough enough for lashing acrylics or buttery oil impastos—this is the canvas Brisbane artists keep coming back for.

Tips from the Shed

Big canvas vibes mean big paint load. Mist the back lightly with water before gesso touch-ups for extra drum-tight tension, and store it face-first against a wall to protect that pristine cotton between layers.

FAQs

Do I need to gesso the Mont Marte Premium Double Thick Canvas – 101.6 × 101.6 cm before painting?

Nope! It’s already triple-primed. If you prefer an ultra-slick surface, add a light sand and one extra gesso coat, but most artists dive straight in.

Can the Mont Marte Premium Double Thick Canvas – 101.6 × 101.6 cm handle heavy impasto oils?

Absolutely. The 38 mm deep bars and internal brace stop warping, even under thick knife work.

Is the Mont Marte Premium Double Thick Canvas – 101.6 × 101.6 cm too big for beginners?

Not if you’ve got the wall space! Large square canvases are brilliant for learning expressive brushwork—just scale up your brushes and let loose.

What’s the best way to hang the Mont Marte Premium Double Thick Canvas – 101.6 × 101.6 cm?
