sunny smile How to use the right canvas weight for the right size?




I've got a commission to do both large and small artworks for a private collection. I plan to stretch my own canvas, you see, and I understand there's both 7 oz and 12 oz canvases available in the market.

My question now is: when do we use 12 oz canvases? What is the minimum size appropriate for 12 ounce-ers? I hope to find out from all the experts active in this forum here, and will appreciate if you can share your thoughts.

Marcus
