Round canvas

A round canvas that stands out

The Phoenix Round Stretched Canvas takes a familiar surface and puts it in a shape that makes any piece look intentional. A circular painting works like a window, a clock face, or a mandala, and it looks striking on its own or in a group on the wall.

The cotton canvas weighs 350gsm, which is a solid, substantial weight, and it’s stretched tight over a wooden frame so the surface stays firm and even while you paint. The medium grain strikes a balance: smooth enough for detail, with enough tooth to hold paint well. At 12 inches (about 30cm) across, it’s a good size for finished pieces that fit easily on a shelf or wall.

Tips for better results

1. Sketch your design lightly in pencil first. A round surface suits designs with a centre point, so mark the middle to keep patterns balanced.
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. Turn the canvas as you paint. Round pieces have no top or bottom, so you can work from whichever angle is most comfortable.
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 canvas is round, so it hangs best from a hook or a small wire fitted to the back, and it may need a flat-backed hanger to sit evenly.
• Round canvases don’t fit standard rectangular frames. Display it as it is, with painted edges.
