Canvas Thailand

OK, it’s been some weeks maybe even months after getting stretcher frames made by a finish carpenter, and getting the entire top floor re-arranged to truly accommodate my efforts across 3 different rooms.

One of the biggest challenges has been sourcing supplies, especially across multiple mediums and on a budget. Most of the results from Google show a lightweight version of art supply in Thailand and very out-dated. And it’s people taking their kids to buy art pens or something. The rest are broken links. These links will break one day too, perhaps 10 years from now. But today they’re good.

My main medium is oil, but I had been thinking more along the lines of Acrylic on panels after oil on canvas seemed a pipe dream, especially canvas. Couldn’t figure out where to get it on a roll or by the meter.

No, you just need to be extra savvy with your Thai resources.

Here are the main suppliers I have found and will be using:

WIIN CANVAS – https://www.wiincanvas.com/

WIIN Canvas is proven via recommendation from my wife’s friends who paint, and an order I received. They have an impressive line of canvas that blows away anything I had previously found even in the USA. One of the few surprises in a land that I had previously thought bereft of quality studio supplies.

Theykeep it simple. They just sell canvas, and enough kinds to more than cover anything I’d be doing no matter how high quality I need to go. To start I went in cheap to test. I got a 2 meter roll @ 10 meters long Cotton Duck #12 Gesso primed shipped to my house overnight for $90. It’s a nice one, and first I have ever bought of primed after decades of doing all that myself building stretchers, fitting canvas, priming in gesso, then oil.

They have canvas of same dimensions of Belgian Linen (CLAESSENS?) and Ukrainian Linen available for as much as 40,000THB (Over $1000). They also carry canvas pliers, rabbit skin glue, and tacks. True old school.
