A new painting tool that we love!

The Holbein Canvas Scraper is a good quality piece of studio equipment.

    • It removes thick, dried paint without damaging the canvas.
    • It is sharp but not too sharp (though if you aren’t careful you can cut yourself) and the metal is hard, thick in the middle and strong so you can really push and pull at it and it doesn’t flex or feel weak.
    • It is 9 inches long, double edged, has a deep tang, 2 rivets, and a beautiful wood handle.
    • It is particularly suited to oil painting, but also works for acrylic paint
