These sites are the best I found that can explain the difference between the two materials, and what would be the best to use. * http://www.rationalart.com/d_canvas_prep.htm * http://www.okeefe-arts.com/index_resources_canvas_types.htm

Canvas. Really? yes really!-no need to be so rude! if they don't no that's why they ask! I think the question was more along the lines of what is canvas made of, canvas is made of linen or cotton, though originally it was made of hemp
Some of the heavy weight watercolor paper has a texture that is similar to canvas. This paper can be purchased at any art supply store. There are also paper companies that make linen papers with a variety of textures. You can see samples at any local print or copy shop. If you intend to paint on the paper I would suggest watercolor paper, the linen papers are better for printing.
It depends on what type of painting you are doing, or what kind of paint you are using. But, most likely, you are using acrylic paint, and when using acrylic paint, you should not use any paper at all. Instead, you need to use canvas to paint on because paper will start to shrivel up when you paint on it. So, just use canvas, which you can buy at a crafts store like Micheal's or JOANN for the low price of about $25-$35. Your welcome!!
