When you do not want to buy any of the available pre-fabricated canvases you can always buy a roll of primed or raw canvas cloth. The first step in the process towards constructing a finished canvas is the stretching of the canvas. Once the stretching is done and you did this with raw canvas, it is still necessary to prime the canvas before you can start the actual painting. The reason it is necessary to prime a raw canvas is that both linen and cotton cloth will eventually rot when saturated with oil paint. To prevent the occurrence of rotting the canvas cloth must be treated with a glue or gelatin solution to so-call "size" the canvas and then must be coated with an oil-based primer. You can also paint with oil on watercolor paper or vellum. You can size the paper with an acrylic medium first so that the oil paint does not eventually rot the paper which would be the case if you do not size the paper. In general, sizing a ground means to treat it with some solution or medium so the oil paint will not cause the ground to rot in time. If you want to make your painting last longer (permanence) you need to choose heavy paper of at least 200 lbs. This is the end of short primer on priming different grounds for the purpose of oil painting. There is much more to learn but the few tips as given above will give you enough information to go to a reputable art supply store and be able to converse intelligently on the subject of priming different grounds and the priming methods used. This will certainly start the conversation and you will learn right there about the latest techniques and inventions regarding priming and while you’re at it also about stretching canvases.
