How is a black canvas different from a white one?

A black canvas is primed with black gesso, not white. The dark background creates high contrast, making light, metallic, and neon pigments glow from the very first layer. A white canvas is better suited to traditional painting and portraits. Both versions are made of 100% cotton and have a spruce frame; the weight differs: the black canvas is 250 g/m², while the white one is 370 g/m².

What techniques is a black canvas suitable for?

The PROFI black canvas is primed with black gesso and ready for acrylic paints and oil paints. The dark, high-contrast background especially brings out light, metallic, and neon pigments. It works well for modern painting, abstract art, and night scenes.

Are the keys used to retighten the canvas if it loosens over time?

Exactly. We include 8 stretcher keys FREE with every PROFI canvas. They let you retighten the canvas to restore its tautness if it loses its original firmness over the years or due to humidity.

Which acrylic paints do you recommend for textured painting on this canvas?

Thick, heavy-body acrylic paint is ideal for pronounced textures and reliefs. From our selection, we especially recommend the “Euforia” paints (430 ml), which hold their shape very well.

Is this canvas suitable for oil paints and acrylic paints?

Yes, the PROFI black canvas is primed with black gesso, so it’s ready to use with oil paints, acrylic paints, and mixed techniques.

What if I need a size that isn’t available?

The range includes up to 60 formats, from 20 × 20 cm to 100 × 120 cm. Currently, 42 are available. If you can’t find the size you need, write to us. We’ll help you choose the closest available format or suggest another option from our selection.

How much does the ARTMiE PROFI black canvas cost?

Prices start at €4,59 for the smallest format, 20 × 20 cm, and go up to €34,90 for the largest, 100 × 120 cm. The price depends only on the size. The material, priming, and frame are the same across all formats.

How is the PROFI canvas different from less expensive canvases?

The PROFI canvas stands out for its high-quality materials, high weight (g/m²), and sturdy spruce frame. These ensure a taut canvas, durability, and a professional result, qualities often missing from budget alternatives.

How It’s Made

Four Steps from cotton to black ARTMiE PROFI canvas.

Every part of it is made with artistry, from natural rolls of cotton canvas to carefully finished spruce stretcher bars. You can feel the care in the craftsmanship beneath your brush with every stroke.

Priming with Black Gesso

Black gesso seals the canvas pores, protects the fibers, and creates a smooth, deep black surface for painting.

„I was looking for something very specific: a practical tube for carrying pre-prepared flip chart paper. I ordered a tube from Alza and it was no good. It was narrow and inflexible. The one from Artmie is perfect.”

„A wide selection and reliability, but product descriptions are not always complete. For example, it would be useful to list the pigments used in professional watercolors.”
