Absolutely, hands down, the BEST QUALITY canvases I’ve bought via Amazon to date!
I’m an artist and I’ve purchase many different kinds/types/sizes/brands etc. of these canvas “packs” at least 10 times over the course of the last year or so—from the cheapest I could find to some of the pricier “gallery wrapped” canvases (which those were obviously really nice but they cost 10x as much too) but anyway, this set was not only essentially the cheapest I could find but I was shocked when they arrived and I observed the quality of these canvases! I will be buying just these from now on (provided that they have available the size(s) that I am needing)😊 Below is a list of the many of the qualities I found that these canvases had and where they really just ‘knocked it out of the park’/ excelled— and where their ‘competitors’ are just completely lacking!1—each of the canvases came individually wrapped (rather than only wrapping every other one)2—All of them (again, rather than just the front facing one) had a good thick piece of laminate to protect them from acquiring any damage.3—Every one of the canvases came with its own individually wrapped bag of 8 wedges for tightening the canvas if desired (which, as a matter of fact, I haven’t ever, to this day **never received ANY of these wedges along with any of the probably hundreds of canvases I have ordered from different sellers/brands through Amazon)—from canvases as big as 24x30in. to ones as small as just 4x4in. And from big brands like Arteza—to all kinds of other brands that compete around that price range. Not 1, Not once!4—The canvas quality itself was very very good! Zero complaints, (again, by far the best out of all of the canvases that I have ordered in the past) and they were all already coated with a nice thick layer of gesso.5—They were very **solid/sturdy feeling, ***THEY WERE NOT SAGGY! Very taught, and they DID NOT BOW AFTER BEING SPRITZED WITH A LITTLE WATER (again, as so many of the cheeper canvases will, or how they are at times already warped from the get go/ right out of the box) smh6—Also they have a bit more of a squared/closer to a 90° angle edge around the boarder rather than being really rounded off like most of the others typically are (which I found that I actually much preferred the look of!)Lastly, I have used them all now so I can say that all has held true throughout the entire process of their use from purchase—to painting on—to drying then varnishing/applying epoxy etc.—and hanging.👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👩🏻🎨🌟👍🏼

It was a good deal and I like the unusual size.
I used the canvases for acrylic pour painting and they seem plenty durable enough but I also did not put them through any abuses. I think it was a good deal for the price and I am reordering them. I don't like the stapling in the back that much and feel that could be done better, especially on the corners! I love the size of the canvases.

Good quality
Canvas is tight like it should be and is primed. Most companies claim that their canvas are primed, but they are not. Some companies do not stretch the canvas correctly which makes them to loose to paint on. Very pleased with these.

Perfect for experimenting!
These are a budget-friendly way to experiment with new painting techniques. I got these to try out acrylic pour painting and got my kids into it, too. Any painting that doesn't come out the way we like, we just gesso over it and re-use it!

THIS CANVAS IS NOT WATERCOLOR
It’s definitely a stretched canvas but I guarantee it’s NOT watercolor. This is perfect if you’re working with acrylic but where there’s no where for the water to be absorbed, it just sits on top of the waxy canvas. I’ve used watercolor and gouache and neither work on their canvas and ruined great sketches. DO NOT BUY IF YOURE TRYING TO DO WATERCOLOR!!!

Perfect for our ArtWeekMA painting puzzle where each painter paints one panel of a larger whole.
Mural art project called the Mystery Puzzle Painting done for ArtWeekMA 2019! We are using a total of 92 6”x6” canvases to create a 4’x6’ composite painting that will be assembled during a painting day event. We added offsets & screws to each panel so they will hang on a drying rack as each volunteer completes a square. When all the squares are complete, the puzzle “answer” will be revealed. The Town of Harwich,MA and the Guild of Harwich Artists is the official event sponsor. The event is May 4th from 10am-3pm at the Cultural Center as part of the week-long celebration of art in Massachusetts . Ours is one of the State’s five cultural districts to be highlighted. We were thrilled to find this canvas type and size for this project. We would love it if the supplier were to donate toward this annual event in the future.

Terrible cheap canvas. Not for watercolor.
These are absolutely without a doubt NOT watercolor canvases. The surface is extremely glossy and water repellent. It doesn’t work with the canvas wet or dry. I’m going to see how they fare with some gouache however I am not very confident that the results will be any different. It’s unfortunate because as an artist I don’t have a super high income and I was excited about this investment and it fell COMPLETELY flat! I definitely won’t be buying any products from this company again and I’ll be sure to let my fellow watercolorists who were waiting to see how they worked that they are a flop.

Just fine for a new Artist, not fine for an experienced Painter.
Pros:Small in size, so it is a start and finish good feeling for a new budding Artist.I think it is a perfect size for small projects and little ones to feel a bit more grown up and when finished with the painting it is easily hung on a wall giving a little one a proud feeling and ( 0f course bragging rights for parents of their children. )I also would add that unlike painting on paper with these canvases the memories will last forever....( personally I'd spray a light coat of Poly just to seal it so you can wipe it down and the painting won't fade over time)I thought it was nicely packaged, they have a thin plastic liner between each canvas . Very nice touch!Cons:For an experienced or Professional the canvas "bows", it is not stretched tightly which is a bit frustrating.I found these canvases to not be truly Gesso , ready to GO, without using some sort of Gesso these canvases to almost bleed paint, it means that you A: will use more paint due to needing to let dry and then paint a second coating, B: paint just seems to almost disappear into the canvas instead of laying nicely on the surface.However,These are a great price for making a gift , it is a wonderful size for someone not being overwhelmed to finish a large piece.While you can just open and begin your Masterpiece , beware that it could use a coat of Gesso , that's just my feeling.

Quality at a great price.
A nice quality, very easy to use right out of the packaging, or add your own primer, if you wish. A really great price, and they were delivered amazingly fast. A genuinely great deal.
