Linen
The work on unprimed linen is dominated by free color gradients of the linen, strong contrast enrichment and bleeding of the edges. Overall, the color sinks deeper, the effect becomes more original and becomes harder to control. Uncontrolled color gradients and the mixture of chance and artistic skill are the focus here. If you want a painting that consists of random interactions between the artists' background and leave more room for freedom, this is the suitable background. The structure of the material is more prominent and the end result will be more material than with cotton.
Both substrates contain residual transparency. Unique effects can be achieved using canvases that have already been vir-colored on both substrates.

Cotton
In addition to the strong bleeding of colors and seamless color transitions, cotton makes it possible to achieve sharp lines and contrasts. Depending on the degree of watering, sharp lines and layers are possible, which enable a detailed and structured representation. The effect of chance plays a minor role, color contrasts can be created with greater certainty and the depth of field is considered to be greater. The distinction between chance product and artistic skills is greater here, the contrasts created stand out.
