These panels provide a smooth, firm painting surface that accepts most paints and mediums. Although priming is not necessary for some applications, the panels can be primed with gesso.
Work directly on the raw wood surface for bleeding and dispersion effects or prime with Gesso for a more prepared and controllable surface.
Whether you are building up layers with epoxy resin or doing a quick acrylic dirty pour having a rigid panel will help your pour become a success and colours won’t pool in the middle like they might on a traditional stretched canvas.
These panels are also great as a prebuilt alternative to oil painting on Masonite. They are also suitable for printing, collage, drawing and mixed media work.
Use them as a backing board for other surfaces, for example, glue (using spray adhesive) a sheet of Yupo or Watercolour paper onto the wooden panel to create a new surface.
