I wouldn’t say double-primed is slicker necessarily, it just doesn’t allow paint to soak in or stain the canvas if the paint is wiped off to make a correction. I inherited a large roll of a heavier/coarser weave raw linen that I use for my > 16×20 sizes. Though some artists feel that it's not as easy to restretch a splined canvas as it is a back-stapled canvas, many artists choose splined canvas because it has a neater appearance than other finishes, and because it's popular with their customers. Plus, the linen had a more unique texture to it. I will try to contact Claessens. A good tip, Camille — thanks! The paint didn’t soak in as much. Can you suggest a brand of oil primer?

I have a large linen canvas that’s been sittin on a wall easel since I moved into our house a couple of years ago! I want to be a linen snob! A Linen surface versus a canvas surface is like the difference between the smooth side of a masonite board and the rough side. We gessoed, sanded and gessoed again until the linen was transformed into the most beautiful surface ever! Good stuff!!!! Other popular painting surfaces include canvas panels and canvas boards, for those who prefer a more stable and portable type of blank canvas that travels well and sets up easily in the studio or in the field. Strong and durable, linen holds up to a heavy painting hand and doesn't become slack as easily as cotton canvas.

I actually agree with Thomas and feel that making a painting from every detail of choosing a size, the support material, stretching it, prepping it and then creating on it.. well to me that whole process contributes to the finished piece. First rabbit skin glue followed by 2 – 3 coats lead white primer. I works wonderfully. In the past I stretched it onto stretcher bars of varying sizes. I add an extra coat of oil primer to my double oil primed linen to get more of that yummy surface. What's the difference between cotton duck canvas and linen canvas?
