## Description

Your favorite scenes from Johanna Basford's inky adventures have leapt off the page and onto ready-to-hang artist-quality canvases! Explore Johanna's worlds from all four critically acclaimed books: Secret Garden, Enchanted Forest, Lost Ocean, and Magical Jungle. Available in square or landscape format, each canvas features an intricate pen-and-ink illustration waiting to be brought to life by Colorists of all ages. Each highly detailed image is printed on 8 oz. primed cotton, stretched around an acid-free paper board and a ¾” deep pine frame. Unleash your creativity with all varieties of markers, pens and paints. It is recommended that a clear UV resistant fixative spray is used with alcohol or solvent based markers to protect colors from fading.

Review: Fun Canvas - I love the coloring books and the artists editions of the books and now the canvases with pictures from the books. I loved this bird one. I didn't color the white background until I finished everything else. It looked like it needed something more so I used light blue for the background just in-side the wreath holding the birds. It looks so much better with the background color. If you know the color you want for the background maybe you should do it first. I've used markers of all kinds and gel pens. Some marker points have been worn down so now I make sure not to press too hard.
Review: High quality construction, design lines sharp - I LOVED working with this canvas, the construction and materials they used are top-shelf. The wood is not particle board, it is solid, real wood. They join the corners using a tounge and groove method and it is completely flat and level. The canvas is secured with A LOT of stapes, it does not move in the slightest. Behind the canvas itself is a piece of thick, hard cardboard which prevents any poking through by sharp pen or pencil tips. The print on this one is not too complicated and gives a lot of white space for you to use your imagination. I used Chameleon Pens on my canvas if you're curious.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be hung both vertically and horizontally and look good?**
A: I have hung mine vertically and it looks greatHelen

**Q: What would happen if you used water based markers?**
A: I’m not sure.  I have used alcohol based markers, permanent markers and gel pens.  I spray hairspray over canvas once completed to set the inks.  Go to her website gallery to see what others have used.  Make sure they are on canvas and not coloring pages.

**Q: how do you get the glue off from the labeling on the sides of the art?**
A: I think you need to ask for a replacement.  It should be sealed in plastic.  When you open it the cardboard just slips out.

**Q: Would colored pencils work well with this canvas??**
A: I used my prismacolor premier set on the seashell canvas just to experiment and I do not recommend.  It looks nice but it will destroy your pencils.  I did a matching one with the #coloring markers often suggested with these and it’s much better.  So the answer is yes, you can, but you probably shouldn’t.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Coloring beyond the page
*by A***R on January 19, 2017*

Johanna Basford Secret Garden Coloring Canvas - Hummingbird Fun!! Lovely picture and easy to color, I used gel markers (just remember to let dry for a couple hours in between so as not to smudge) Covered in gesso and on stretcher bars a nice alternative to coloring in books. Nice details but not small for those of us who need bigger area's to cover. This project will keep you busy and occupied for days and not get boring.
