Plain weave

9/291

Plain weave %also called tabby weave, linen weave(!) or taffeta weave is the most basic of

three fundamental types of te$tile .eaves %along .ith satin .eave and t.ill/() 0t is strong and

hard-.earing, used for fashion and furnishing fabrics/

0n plain .eave, the .arp and .eft are aligned so they form a simple criss-cross pattern/ Each

.eft thread crosses the .arp threads by going over one, then under the ne$t, and so on/ 1he ne$t.eft thread goes under the .arp threads that its neighbor .ent over, and vice versa/

• Balanced plain weaves are fabrics in .hich the .arp and .eft are made of threads of the

same .eight %siFe and the same number of ends per inch as picks per inch/(6)

• Basketweave is a variation of plain .eave in .hich t.o or more threads are bundled and

then .oven as one in the .arp or .eft, or both/

* balanced plain .eave can be identified by its checkerboard-like appearance/ 0t is also kno.n

as one-up-one-do.n .eave or over and under pattern/()

Some e$amples of fabric .ith plain .eave are chiffon, organFa, and taffeta/

Designation

*ccording to the !th-century geographer al-0drNsN , the city of *lmerOa in *ndalusia

manufactured imitations of 0raGi and "ersian silks called ‘attābī , .hich Pavid Qacoby identifies(5)

as +a taffeta fabric made of silk and cotton %natural fibers originally produced in *ttabiya, adistrict of &aghdad/+

%tymology

1he .ord canvas is derived from the !6th century *nglo-rench canevaz and the 2ld rench canevas/ &oth may be derivatives of the Vulgar atin cannapaceus for +made of hemp,+(!) originating from the :reek XYZZ[\]^ %cannabis/

Physical characteristics

odern canvas is usually made of cotton or linen, although historically it .as made from hemp/0t differs from other heavy cotton fabrics, such as denim, in being plain .eave rather than t.ill

.eave/ Canvas comes in t.o basic types? plain and duck / 1he threads in duck canvas are more

tightly .oven/ 1he term duck comes from the Putch .ord for cloth, doek / 0n the Inited States,canvas is classified in t.o .ays? by .eight %ounces per sGuare yard and by a graded number

system/ 1he numbers run in reverse of the .eight so a number !' canvas is lighter than number

Canvas for painting

Canvas has become the most common support medium for oil painting, replacing .ooden

panels/ 2ne of the earliest surviving oils on canvas is a rench Madonna with angels fromaround !!' in the :em_ldegalerie, &erlin/ Ho.ever, panel painting remained more common

until the !Ath century in 0taly and the !7th century in #orthern Europe/ antegna and Venetianartists .ere among those leading the changeD Venetian sail canvas .as readily available andregarded as the best Guality/

Canvas is typically stretched across a .ooden frame called a stretcher , and may be coated .ith

gesso before it is to be usedD this is to prevent oil paint from coming into direct contact .ith thecanvas fibres, .hich .ill eventually cause the canvas to decay/ * traditional and fle$ible chalk

gesso is composed of lead carbonate and linseed oil, applied over a rabbit skin glue groundD a

variation using titanium .hite pigment and calcium carbonate is rather brittle and susceptible to

cracking/ *s lead-based paint is poisonous, care has to be taken in using it/ Various alternativeand more fle$ible canvas primers are commercially available, the most popular being a synthetic

late$ paint composed of titanium dio$ide and calcium carbonate, bound .ith a thermo-plastic

emulsion/ any artists have painted onto unprimed canvas, such as Qackson "ollock ,(6) 3enneth #oland, rancis &acon, Helen rankenthaler , Pan Christensen, arry Lo$, 8onnie andfield,

Color ield painters, yrical *bstractionists and others/

Early canvas .as made of linen, a sturdy bro.nish fabric of considerable strength/ inen is

particularly suitable for the use of oil paint/ 0n the early 'th century, cotton canvas, oftenreferred to as +cotton duck ,+ came into use/ inen is composed of higher Guality material, and

remains popular .ith many professional artists, especially those .ho .ork .ith oil paint/ Cotton

duck, .hich stretches more fully and has an even, mechanical .eave, offers a more economicalalternative/ 1he advent of acrylic paint has greatly increased the popularity and use of cotton

duck canvas/ inen and cotton derive from t.o entirely different plants, the fla$ plant and the

cotton plant/

:essoed canvases on stretchers are also available/ 1hey are available in a variety of .eights?light-.eight is about oF %!!' g/ or 5 oF %!' g/D medium-.eight is about 7 oF %'' g/ or > oF

%6' g/D heavy-.eight is about !' oF %>' g/ or ! oF %6' g/ 1hey are prepared .ith t.o or

three coats of gesso and are ready for use straight a.ay/ *rtists desiring greater control of their painting surface may add a coat or t.o of their preferred gesso/ "rofessional artists .ho .ish to

.ork on canvas may prepare their o.n canvas in the traditional manner/

2ne of the most outstanding differences bet.een modern painting techniGues and those of the

lemish and Putch asters is in the preparation of the canvas/ +odern+ techniGues takeadvantage of both the canvas te$ture as .ell as those of the paint itself/ 8enaissance masters took

e$treme measures to ensure that none of the te$ture of the canvas came through/ 1his reGuired a

painstaking, months-long process of layering the ra. canvas .ith %usually lead-.hite paint, then polishing the surface, and then repeating/() 1he final product had little resemblance to fabric, but
