The common support for painting ing since ancient times. Applied today to any fabric support made up for use with oil paint. Linen with a thin ground was painted in tempera as early as the 12th Egyptian dynasty, and probably much earlier. The change to oil painting and large-scale work has widened its use, the change-over coming during the Renaissance. For the most part, artists' canvas was linen in plain cloth weave, though twill has been in evidence since the 16th century. Recent developments in the field have produced canvas in cotton and in glass cloth. As made ready for the market, artists' canvas is prepared with a ground of complicated construction, the upper coatings including oil with white or colored pigments and inert materials. By tightening a piece of raw canvas on stretchers, the weave acquires a variegated design of irregularity that will enhance the final result in any type of painting.
