GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Canvas refers to any closely woven fabric. Linen is considered a superior canvas, although cotton canvas is also used by many painters. To prepare a canvas for a traditional easel painting, the artist first stretches the fabric over a wooden frame and tacks it in place. Next, they moisten the fabric with water and tightly re-stretch it across the frame. This process helps to prevent any slackness in the canvas.

RULE
Could apply to all objects with canvas as a medium- this increases reulsts from 845 to 876.
