Crescent® Heavyweight Canvas Board provides a durable, economical painting surface for artists, students, and educators. Featuring a white linen-textured canvas surface mounted to a rigid heavyweight board, it offers the feel of traditional canvas with the stability and convenience of a panel.

The surface is hard-sized to accept a variety of media, while the triple-thick board construction provides added support for more vigorous painting techniques.
