Each Claessens canvas undergoes a rigorous treatment and process to meet different artists' requirements. First, all raw canvases are sized with a synthetic PVA glue. For universal primed canvases, the next step involves applying a coat of acrylic-bound titanium white paint to the canvas by means of a knife.

As the primer and coating are water-based, these universal primed canvases are dried in a hot-air oven, where the water can evaporate more quickly. Universal primed Claessens canvases are suitable for both oil paint and acrylic paint.
