Hello from French Canvas
 

Hi Everyone. My name is Rob Mogel. I have a company www.frenchcanvas.com that manufactures pre-stretched canvases and sells stretcher bars. I am looking forward to being a part of this community and wondering how I can help it. Our company is called French Canvas because my partner is a painter from France. I thought perhaps we can give certain perspectives from Europe that might be helpful. I also thought we could give out some free samples to get people's perspectives.

Best,


Rob

Hi Rob and welcome! I would love to try your canvases, going to go check your site right now :)

Hi there and welcome,

I'd like to try your mansonite panels.

Welcome Rob! Honest purveyors of quality materials are inevitably helpful to the community of people who paint in oils, most especially in these latter days, when so many artists have little or no knowledge of the foundational crafts that are the basis for their art. Certainly that requires the firm foundation of sound, good quality painting supports!

Some questions which may help you "sell" us on your products:

Does your firm produce your roll-canvas in-house?
Does your firm produce your stretcher bars in-house?
What is the advantage/disadvantage of fir vs. pine, given the cost difference?
What is the source of your fabrics?
Do you or your partner have a background as studio artists?
What is your background/ training in the production of painting supports?
How can we obtain samples? What's the cost for a sample kit?
Please feel free to explain in depth what you perceive as "European perspectives" on painting supports, (as opposed to "new world" perspectives ?) I'm confident you will find a rapt audience for your point of view on these boards.

??? I didn't see panels offered on the website ???
