Choose a flat canvas panel for a small painting study, colour comparison or composition that takes little storage space. The white canvas texture offers a different surface from smooth paper. Select the size for your design; the photo illustrates several panels.
Choose between four sizes
The selector lists 20.3 × 20.3 cm, 20.3 × 25.4 cm, 25.4 × 25.4 cm and 27.9 × 35.6 cm. A square gives equal space in both directions. Turn a rectangle upright for a portrait-like composition or horizontally for a wide landscape. Compare the dimensions with your sketch, and account for the actual panel size and thickness when choosing a frame.
Construction of three sizes
The 20.3 × 25.4 cm, 25.4 × 25.4 cm and 27.9 × 35.6 cm panels have 100% cotton canvas of 225 g/m² on 2.5 mm MDF, with four gesso coats. Cotton describes the fabric, not the entire board. These three sizes are sold individually; the stack in the photo does not represent a set.
Paint and store
These three prepared sizes are suitable for acrylic, oil, gouache, tempera and pouring. Choose paint and any dilution according to the paint material’s instructions. Test an unfamiliar combination on a sample first. Work on a flat support, avoid soaking the back and edges, and let the painting dry flat. Protect the corners in transit.
