Canvas Material: In terms of canvas material, the 380gsm cotton base falls into the medium-to-high grammage category. This weight of cotton undergoes fine weaving and special treatment, boasting both softness and toughness. Its fibers are evenly distributed, with a flat surface that still retains the subtle texture unique to cotton. Unlike low-grammage cotton that is loose and prone to pigment penetration, or heavy linen that is rough and difficult to handle, this canvas offers an ideal painting experience.
When painting, pigments can adhere well to the canvas surface. Whether it is glazing and blending or impasto and layering, the direction and layers of brushstrokes can be clearly presented. For acrylic paints, the 380gsm cotton canvas has moderate water absorption. It will not cause the painting to turn dull due to excessive oil absorption, nor will it repel water and make pigments hard to adhere, thus maximizing the restoration of the original color saturation of the pigments.
Meanwhile, high-quality 380gsm cotton canvas boards go through multiple processes such as degreasing, sizing and sanding. A uniform layer of ground coat forms on the canvas surface, which can not only isolate the moisture in pigments from eroding the wooden inner frame and extend the service life of the canvas board, but also make the texture of the canvas finer, facilitating creators to depict delicate details.
🔩
Inner Frame Structure: The inner frames of 380gsm cotton canvas boards are mostly made of dried solid wood, commonly pine or fir. The wood undergoes strict dehydration treatment, making it not easy to deform or crack. The canvas is evenly and tightly stretched over the inner frame and fixed with professional stretching techniques, ensuring that the canvas is flat without loosening. It will not dent due to brush pressure during painting, and can stably withstand the operation of tools such as paintbrushes and palette knives.
The corners of the inner frame are tightly connected, and some high-quality canvas boards are also equipped with corner protectors at the edges to prevent collision damage during transportation or storage. In addition, 380gsm cotton canvas boards come in a wide range of sizes, from portable small sizes to large sizes suitable for hanging and display, meeting the needs of different creative scenarios.
🌿 vs. Linen Canvas
380gsm cotton is more affordable and has a softer hand feel, making it significantly more beginner-friendly than linen canvas boards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What makes 380gsm cotton a good choice for stretched canvas?
380gsm cotton falls into the medium-to-high grammage range, which provides an ideal balance of softness, toughness, and fine texture. It undergoes fine weaving and special treatment so that the surface is flat yet retains the subtle texture unique to cotton — making it suitable for both beginners and professional artists.
Q
Is the 380gsm cotton stretched canvas suitable for both oil and acrylic paints?
Yes. The 380gsm cotton canvas is compatible with both oil and acrylic paints. For acrylics, the canvas offers moderate water absorption that prevents dullness from excessive oil absorption, while maintaining strong pigment adhesion. For oils, the ground coat layer isolates moisture and protects the inner frame, ensuring the longevity of your artwork.
Q
What type of wood is used for the inner frame, and why does it matter?
The inner frame is typically made of dried pine or fir wood. These woods undergo strict dehydration treatment to prevent warping, cracking, and deformation over time. A stable frame ensures the canvas remains flat and taut during painting, providing a consistent surface that can withstand the pressure of brushes and palette knives.
Q
How does 380gsm cotton canvas compare to linen canvas?
Compared to linen canvas, 380gsm cotton canvas is more affordable and has a softer hand feel, making it more approachable for beginners. Linen tends to be rougher and more expensive. However, both are excellent choices — linen may be preferred by professional artists seeking a more textured, durable surface for large-scale or long-term archival works.
Q
Can the frame size be customized to specific dimensions?
Yes. The 380gsm cotton stretched canvas is available with customized frame sizes, ranging from small portable formats to large sizes suitable for hanging and gallery display. This flexibility makes it adaptable to a wide range of creative projects and display requirements.
Q
What surface preparation does the 380gsm cotton canvas go through before use?
High-quality 380gsm cotton canvas boards go through multiple processes including degreasing, sizing, and sanding. A uniform layer of ground coat is applied to the canvas surface. This preparation isolates moisture from the pigments, protects the wooden inner frame, extends the service life of the canvas board, and creates a finer texture that facilitates the depiction of delicate details.
