Is there anything more daunting than a blank white canvas waiting to be smothered in color? Switch things up with a black canvas. While traditional canvases are primed with opaque white gesso, manufactures also produce canvases and canvas boards primed with black gesso. Black canvases are a great tool for experimenting with different colored grounds, backgrounds, and contouring styles. Paint really pops against a black canvas, and the dark ground inspires different approaches to highlights and shadows. Browse our selection of black canvases and canvas boards below to find the right product for you.
