I think it was a linen canvas by "Creative Mark Centurion". Im not sure, it has been probably a year since I ordered these, I get alot of my paint and pastels from Jerry's Artarama Catalog, and I ordered several brands of canvases at one time a while back to see if I liked any of them. I really hate stretching my own. But this one is AWFUL!

It was a 30" x 40", I wonder if I could sand it down and put another coat of gesso on it?? Not for a commissioned piece obviously, but to experiment on for myself?
