FAQs

Do I need to gesso the Mont Marte Premium Double Thick Canvas – 8″ × 10″ before painting?

No—each canvas has three coats of universal primer. Add another only if you want an ultra-slick ground.

Can this canvas handle palette-knife textures and light collage?

Yes. The 380 gsm cotton and 38 mm frame support moderate impasto and thin collage papers without sagging.

Why choose a deep-edge canvas for a small format?

The 38 mm profile gives even mini-works a contemporary, professional presence—perfect for gift-shop sales and social-media photos.

How should I store spare canvases?

Keep them flat in the wrap or stand vertically with spacers; avoid damp areas to maintain tension.
