Elgat Podobrazie 16 x 16 x 1.5 cm 280 g/m² primed stretcher bar frame

Elgat Podobrazie 16 x 16 x 1.5 cm 280 g/m² primed stretcher bar frame is a small-format pre-primed canvas mounted on a lightweight wooden stretcher. The canvas surface has a 280 g/m² priming suitable for direct painting and provides a uniform, ready-to-use ground for acrylic and oil media. With compact dimensions of 16 x 16 x 1.5 cm, the frame is designed for practice pieces, studies, samples and small finished works that require a stable, taut support.

Advantages

The pre-primed surface eliminates the need for initial gesso application, saving preparation time and ensuring consistent absorbency across the canvas. The thin 1.5 cm depth and small square format make the frame easy to handle, store and frame in standard small frames or shadow boxes. The stretcher construction maintains tension and flatness, providing a reliable surface for both fast sketches and more detailed small-scale paintings.

Suitable for

• Small acrylic paintings and studies
• Oil sketches and small-format oil paintings
• Art classes, student assignments and practice exercises
• Sample displays, miniatures and gift artwork

Key specifications

• Canvas priming weight: 280 g/m²
• Overall dimensions: 16 x 16 x 1.5 cm
• Shape: square
• Support type: stretched canvas on wooden stretcher bars
• Surface: pre-primed, ready for painting
• Compatible media: acrylics and oil paints

How to use

Check the surface for even tension before starting. Secure the frame on an easel, tabletop easel or work surface suited to small canvases. Use brushes, palette knives or other painting tools directly on the pre-primed canvas. Allow standard drying times appropriate to the chosen medium; thin acrylic layers dry quickly while oil paints require longer curing and may need proper ventilation. If required, sand lightly and apply a thin additional ground for specific textures or absorbency adjustments.

Usage recommendations

Store frames flat or upright in a dry, temperature-stable environment to avoid warping. For display, choose frames or mounting methods that support the thin 1.5 cm depth. When working with oil paints, use low-absorbency underlayers and follow proper ventilation and drying practices.
