Acrylic primed linen is the ideal surface for using your acrylic paints. It gives a stable and very strong base. It can maintain integrity for years and will not crack like other canvases may. There are some facts about using a primed surface in the following:

• Most artistic media requires a primed surface.
• Beginners benefit greatly from primed work surfaces.
• Those primed for use with oil paints can only be used with these paints.
• Accomplished artists may prefer to do their own priming in order to achieve a certain or desired surface for their work.
• The surface will be much smoother with each layer of primer that is applied.
• Beginners should use pre-primed surfaces and with experience may want to begin doing their own priming.

If you desire to stretch your own acrylic primed linen, you should be sure to start from the middle of the linen and work your way out. It is best to have someone to help you as that second set of hands can come in handy. It is also an advantage to have canvas pliers available. You can secure the linen with nails or staples. Staples are generally used as they can easily be removed for future stretching if need be.
