bmh 2,249 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Anyone know where I can buy loneta , the fabric used by painters for their canvas. I want to buy it by the meter so I am going to go to Guadalajara to look for it but would like to know where people who paint buy it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bajandy 14 Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Several years ago I tried to find canvas locally. Closest I came was called Lana which is a lighter weight polyester. A fabric store behind the stationary market in Chapala. I switched to untempered masonite panels which the lumber yard cut for me. I do not notice much difference during painting altho I had to gesso them. I did not have the hassle of getting streachers, it was a lot cheaper. I gesso with a paint roller, have used white acrylic housepaint and/or gesso and depending on how much I sand the surface I can control the texture to be similar to canvas. Canvas is too much hassle down here and I see no reason to use it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bajandy 14 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Just noticed Lonas Mexico add on this page. They make canvas canopies. Probably would sell you same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
