Cotton and linen are suitable for beginners, linen is suitable for works, and jute is suitable for large brushstrokes and large surface oil paintings. The price of high-quality pure linen cloth sold on the market is higher. The price can also reflect the quality of linen.
High-quality linen, dark in color, looks like a strong feeling.
Cheap linen is mostly woven with hemp and has shorter fibers. Individual merchants sell half-linen, cotton and linen mixed with linen, and we can distinguish them using the following methods.
(1) Light inspection to see if the thickness of longitude and latitude is uniform. If the warp and weft lines are too uniform, it may be a cotton fabric.
(2) Tighten the cloth to check the compactness of weaving.
(3) high quality primary color linen is brown, shiny, water absorption uniform. The quality of hemp is not good, and linen that is processed into a compliant fiber will absorb water unevenly and turn black when wet.
(4) outer worsted linen, the less the surface plush, the better.
(5) the vertical and horizontal tightness of half linen is different.
(6) Pull a thread end. If there are bends and bifurcations at both ends, the thread is cotton thread. The two ends of the flax line that is torn off should be smooth, otherwise it is not pure.
(7) If caustic soda water is applied to the canvas, the flax will appear brownish yellow and the cotton will be light yellow.
