loaded brush will find problems depositing a consistent mark, as the adhesion and deposition will be imperfect. Yet, substitute a sandblasted sheet of glass and the problem is alleviated, as the color will take to the surface more readily. Proper supports should age gracefully and be sufficiently able to hold a wide variety of materials. Also, they need to be able to withstand the effects of atmospheric changes. For instance, under reasonable variable conditions of relative humidity and temperature, the support should expand, contract or warp as little as possible to preserve the integrity of the overlying paint film. A support can be of a flexible material, such as cloth, or of a rigid one, such as wood panel (or sheets of glass or metal). Masonry (such as walls or ceilings of buildings) has also served as historical supports for traditional artists. Figure 2.2: Linen is distinguished from cotton canvas by its dull brownish green color and its usually pronounced irregular texture. Adapted from [Den05]. The term canvas is used in painting to describe any fabric that is used as a support. Cotton duck and linen are two distinct fabrics made from two different plant fibers. Cotton duck is a white fabric made from cotton fibers. It is an inexpensive, widely available, and a popular support for painting. Linen is a light- brown fabric made from the fibers of the flax plant, which is the same plant from 11
which linseed oil derives (the most commonly-used oil in oil painting). Linen is much more expensive and less commonly used in modern times. It is universally considered that cotton is an inferior material to linen canvas. Cotton fibers are quite short and resistant to stretching. They suffer rapid degradation when subjected to atmospheric stresses, especially when the fabric is stretched tightly (as in painting). Individual linen fibers are considerably longer than those of cotton, thus the material is somewhat more durable and has a livelier feel when it is stretched over a frame. The higher volatility of cotton can result in cracking and damage to the paint layer. In addition, cotton fibers show a measur- able color change after relatively little exposure to light. Despite these facts, many artists–unaware of the technical issues of archival painting–continue to use cotton duck canvas, mainly because it is so much less expensive. Overall, the best canvas is closely woven pure linen with the threads of warp and woof equal in weight and strength. Figure 2.3: Left: magnified view of the interweaving threads of a cotton canvas. Right: further magnification shows the fibers comprising each thread. The average thread width for this canvas is approximately 575µm and the fibers are approximately 12µm in width Flexible supports are stretched over a wooden frame (stretcher) to provide a suitable surface to work using tacks or staples. An artist does this carefully to 12
