FAQs

Canvas vs paper vs board: when to use each

Each surface behaves differently under paint.

Canvas is flexible and ideal for acrylic and oils. Paper is more versatile but less durable under heavy wet media. Boards provide rigidity and support detailed or layered work.

The choice depends on technique, permanence, and desired finish.

Selecting the right surface improves both control and longevity.

Daler-Rowney does not use animal-derived ingredients in the manufacture of its paper and board ranges, with the exception of The Langton Prestige and Murano papers, which use gelatine.

Daler-Rowney does not use animal-derived ingredients in the manufacture of its synthetic hair brushes, and the only animal-derived ingredient in its natural hair brushes is the natural hair itself.

What does FSC® mean?

FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council® ) is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organisation established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.

What do the surface symbols mean on your paints?

The symbols represent where the paint can be used, for example, Canvas, Murals, Glass, Textiles, and Interior/Exterior. Please visit the colour charts on the individual product pages to view the full list.

You will need to use the correct primers and finishes for a selection of surfaces, i.e., murals will need a varnish to make them waterproof and a primer on most wall surfaces to get the full colour. We do always recommend trialling on a small area and testing first.

What is the advantage of using the products in the same collections for artists?

Using products from the same collection ensures colour consistency across your work, as the paints, papers, brushes and mediums are designed to work in harmony. Each product is developed to complement and enhance the performance of others in the range, enabling artists to achieve reliable and cohesive results.

Are your products EN71 compliant?

Daler-Rowney products are not EN71 compliant as they are aimed at adults.
