Substrates

Our Substrates collection brings together the surfaces that sit under your paint, pencil, or mixed media layers. Here you will find Tri-Art stretched canvases in primed and unprimed options, birch wood panels, bamboo panels, alu panels, and stretcher bars so you can build or choose the support that suits your work. 

Choose gallery depth canvases for finished wall ready pieces, raw unprimed canvas when you want full control over grounds and sizing, and rigid panels for detailed work, encaustic, or techniques that benefit from a solid surface. Lightweight alu and bamboo panels offer modern, stable supports with a sleek profile, while stretcher bars let you create custom sizes. 

Pair these substrates with our gessos, acrylic grounds, and painting mediums to tailor absorbency, tooth, and texture. Whether you are working in acrylic, oil, watercolour ground, or mixed media, this collection gives you a strong foundation for anything you want to build on top.
