Heart Shaped Stretched Canvas

A small canvas with a lot of heart

The Phoenix Heart Canvas takes a familiar painting surface and gives it a shape people notice. At 8 inches (about 20cm), it’s a compact size that suits personal, meaningful pieces: a gift for someone special, a keepsake, or a small decoration for a shelf, desk, or nursery.

The canvas is 350gsm cotton, a solid, substantial weight, stretched tight over a wooden frame so the surface stays firm and even while you paint. It’s ready to use straight out of the pack, with no priming needed.

Tips for better results

1. Sketch your design lightly in pencil first. A heart shape suits designs that follow the outline, so plan around the edges.
2. Work from the background to the details, and let each layer dry before adding the next.
3. Paint the sides of the canvas to finish the piece, so it can hang without a frame.
4. Use smaller brushes for detail on a compact canvas, and keep a larger one for filling the background.
5. Store upright or flat, away from damp, and avoid pressing on the canvas surface.
6. Once your painting is fully dry, seal it with a suitable varnish for lasting protection.

• The heart is a shaped canvas, so it hangs best from a hook or a small wire fitted to the back.
• Shaped canvases don’t fit standard rectangular frames. Display it as it is, with painted edges.
• Sold individually. Choose your quantity at checkout.
