Linen vs Cotton Canvas in Paint by Numbers Kits

Linen vs Cotton Canvas in Paint by Numbers Kits

Canvas quality is the single biggest predictor of whether you'll finish your kit. It is also one of the first things to check when you compare custom paint-by-numbers companies.

Linen

Tighter weave, less stretch, holds paint cleanly. The finished canvas frames beautifully.

Cotton

Cheaper, slightly absorbent, sometimes warps. Fine for practice kits.

Paper-Backed Canvas

Avoid. It's basically a poster.
