Claessens 13SP Canvas




I have a large commission (40x60) which I am starting and I need a good source for buying Claessens 13SP oil primed linen.

I know I can get it by the roll at places like ArtXpress and Jerry's, but was hoping someone might have a source that is less expensive.

A 54 inch by 3 yard roll is about $135 at these places, and the 84 inch by 3 yard roll is about $329.

I checked ASW and Jerry's for you, one had the canvas but it was $10 more. You might try http://www.misterart.com. Maybe they have it for less.

Many thanks for the help you two. I decided on Utrecht because their price was good and I already have an account with them.
