Cheap Canvases in the UK

If you are an artist working in the UK and you paint on canvas, then no doubt you try and find the best priced canvases at the best quality like I do. My preferred canvases are Winsor & Newton with Daler Rowney coming a close second. I find the Winsor & Newton box canvases are great to work with and the paint goes on well without any kind of what I would call ‘oiling’ of the surface, stopping the paint adhering properly which you can get with inferior canvases.

I do mainly paint on ready stretched box canvas although I will sometimes stretch my own if I have old frames to use. I have looked around many places for the best prices for canvases and there are two places that I find the cheapest – one is The Range – a highstreet store that is in many towns – and the other is Discount Art – an online retailer. Where you can sometimes get better prices for larger canvases in The Range (although not by much), I usually buy all of my canvases at Discount Art, unless I want a one off quick purchase (as I have The Range a 5 minute walk away).

The Discount Art canvases can be bought in bulk (4 to 10 canvases in a pack depending on size), as well as in singles, at very cheap prices and their delivery is very quick (usually within 2 days) and free if you spend over £50.

So if you are looking for cheap canvases then definitely give them a try – check out the link below for more info.
