Every artist must find a surface that fits their methods. Part of that comes with using the same surface for some time. The thing is that artists are creative and ever searching by nature. I love oil primed linen and do stretch my own. I'm thinking about using museum panels for really large works but will have the same linen mounted on this because I'm used to the tooth and absorption rate.

I feel clients should expect to get quality materials. I've seen works selling for over $100,000 painted on cheap hobby-level arcylic primed cotton duck and think this regrettable - the artwork was too, though.
