Artfix Belgian linens are created for serious painters who insist on a superior surface and archival quality. For over 50 years, Artfix has been internationally recognized as the finest linen with a true conservator grade surface. All linens are meticulously hand primed in a small village in Provence, France by the Narozni family.
Featured Artist:
"The Artfix L64C quadruple oil primed linen is my surface of choice. The linen holds the integrity of the brushwork better than any surface I have tried in the past. As an artist, it is invaluable to have tools that help you achieve and maintain your original vision and intention as you work. The L64C does this for me.
Not only does it help maintain the freshness of thin washes, it holds thick paint remarkably well and it is a very sturdy surface for thicker palette knife work. I’m extremely pleased with the variety of effects I am able to achieve while painting on this linen. Great art begins with inspiration but it is created with quality materials like Raymar."
