These are smooth like butter! It is pretty pricier but i don’t think the quality can top other brands in my opinion. There are different quantities so if you don’t wanna break ur bank I’d say get the 24 count.

If you want a smooth canvas this would be part of the canvas prep. It also keeps the paint vibrant once dry rather than a different tone.
