Liquitex Basics Canvas Paper is a strongly-textured, white, heavyweight paper surface for traditional acrylic paints and acrylic gouaches. Much more portable than a canvas, but with enough weight (300 gsm) to prevent bleeding and buckling, this economical surface is useful for both travel and pre-painting sketches. 12 acid-free sheets per pad. 9" x 12". Made in Germany. ABOUT LIQUITEX Founded in Cincinnati in 1955, Liquitex was the first company to bring acrylic paints to the fine-art market. Along the way, the chemists and designers at Liquitex have created lots of important products that we now take for granted — for example, they formulated the first water-based acrylic gesso. (In the early 20th century, oil-based primers were much more common.) Since 2000, Liquitex has been part of the Colart Group, along with Winsor & Newton and several other important manufacturing brands. Like Winsor paints (which were originally from the U.K.), most Liquitex products today are made at Colart's paint factory in France.
