Hey all Wild here and today we're gonna be looking at the artist's loft
level one canvas to see if it's worth paying up for we're gonna dive into
what's good about it what's bad about it and more importantly is it worth you
paying up for in this review let's go
real quick before we begin if this is your first time here and you want to
become bigger and better with your creative adventures out there you know
what to do hit that big red subscribe button down below and tick that belt you
know when my videos go live for you and also if you like any of the products
that we've mentioned in this video I'm gonna put links down below in the video
description so you can click through by the way those help my channel so thank
you very much so diving right into it what is a level 1 canvas for Michael's
all level 1 canvases are standard weight cotton duck archival quality acid-free
titanium acrylic gesso prime it doesn't say how many coats are on the canvas but
if I had say take a shot in the dark I would imagine probably only one or two
the wood frame profile is 0.75 inches for use with acrylic and oil paints and
come stretch on a professional frame constructed with kiln dried stretched
bars so what's good and what's bad about a level one canvas well right off the
bat the first thing you're gonna notice is how smooth it is to the touch which
is great depending on what style of painter you are or what type of painting
you want to do so when you apply paint to this it's gonna be a lot smoother and
spread giving you more flow which means you're gonna get a lot more out of your
paints however if you're a painter that likes to have a lot of toothing because you
like a lot of texture or you know that's just what you need for putting
you know snow on mountains not gonna be the best for you because it's a lot more
smooth what about some of the other added benefits of a level-one canvas
well let me tell you it's kind of all there is to be honest not really much
more to it just the smoother texture so really brings up the question do I think
this is worth paying up for and the honest answer for me to you is no I
don't see you paying up for this at all because you can buy a cheaper canvas on
Amazon or the Super Value pack and get the same type of smooth
consistency as long as you added something like a little bit more extra
layers of gesso and that's all gonna save you a lot more money in the long
run cuz gesso is not that expensive then it's really easy to add as many layers
as you want to get this smooth consistency that you want so allowing to
be hypocritical the kind of is one solid recommendation for you to pay up on a
level one canvas and that is if you like to paint on a smaller surface level one
canvases come in very small canvas shapes and sizes out there we can be
really awesome depending on again what style or approach you want to do for
your painting likewise you have the same thing on the flip side if you want to
paint on a gigantic canvas which I highly recommend is it super fun I'm
gonna put a video up here on top right corner recommend checking out you can
paint on a lot of these larger canvases because level ones come available in
those particular sizes so it gives you a more or less a bigger range to select
from but anything that's in the middle there nope not gonna recommend it go
with that cheaper canvas and apply that gesso because it's gonna save you money
no joke painting on a gigantic canvas is so much fun give it a shot but bro note
from me to you wait till those gigantic canvases go on sale for 50 to 70
percent off boom you're gonna be happy yeah that's it that's all the level one
canvas can actually provide for you do you plan on painting on something a lot
smaller or super smaller go with a level one you want to paint on something super
big or just in the bigger range go with a level one anything in the middle stick
with that super canvas value pack can be a lot cheaper built just as great and
hey when you put that bottle gesso on there or coating of gesso just as good
there you go save you some money now you're probably wondering what's the
difference between a level one canvas any level two canvas and I got you covered on
that cuz that's gonna be one of the next videos I bring out when it goes live
you're gonna put it in the top right corner here but until then I recommend
checking out the bottom right corner where you can learn all the added
benefits about the super canvas value pack that you can get online plus some
amazon alternatives that's gonna help you start your painting adventure and as
always I come in super clutch for you and all you beautiful people take care
and a course peace
