Mont Marte Double Thick Pre-Primed Stretched Canvas – 20.3 × 20.3 cm (8″ × 8″)

Small square, big statement. This 8″ × 8″ deep-edge canvas boasts a 38 mm kiln-dried pine frame, corrosion-proof back-staples and heavyweight 380 gsm cotton duck that’s triple-gessoed and ready to paint straight out of the wrapper. The acid-free ground locks colour for decades, turning quick studies into gallery-worthy keepsakes.

TL;DR – Mini gallery-depth canvas, 380 gsm cloth, pre-primed, perfect for centred portraits, grid mosaics and gift-sized masterpieces.
