Jackson's White Gesso Panels are made of Cradled Pine and MDF board, and can be bought as singles or in packs of ten. These economical panels feature a surface that is tough enough for the most rigorous painting and mixed-media techniques.
Italian-made, a fantastic range of traditional stretched linen and cotton canvases. Using the finest linen thread from France, the woven linen is then primed and stretched to the highest of standards. All the linen and cotton canvases are stretched to the reverse giving a clean edge suitable for displaying without a frame. Only renewable wood (red fir) dried to the right degree of humidity, is employed to assure the best stability of stretcher. A special design of joint and stretcher bar assures resistance to torsion and the perfect control of the stretcher's tension. The care that has gone into the production of these canvases is outstanding.
This Multimedia Artboard can be used with a wide range of mediums including acrylic, oil, watercolour, gouache, charcoal, pastel, pencil & more.An innovative combination of paper and epoxy resin means the board will not buckle when wet and can be sanded, scraped and moulded. It can be used on either side, one has a textured finish, the other smoother and flatter. Gesso can be applied for a less absorbent surface

Daler-Rowney Premium stretched canvases are made with a high-quality 380gsm, acid-free, 100% cotton, medium grain canvas, and professional stretcher bars for improved strength and optimal stability. The canvases have been given three coats of acrylic primer; triple-priming creates a perfect ready-to-use painting surface for both oils and acrylics. This holds the colour on the surface and prevents seepage through to the back. The canvases are stapled on the back to give clean edges and come complete with wooden wedges to adjust tension in the traditional manner. They are individually wrapped to protect the surface.
Linen by nature is stronger and durable than cotton and is proven to stand the test of time. Although more affordable and the most popular today, cotton canvas is not as strong and deteriorates faster than linen. Artfix Linen has been handcrafted for over 30 years in Provence, France by the Narozni family. The warm, dry climate is ideal for slow, even drying of primed canvas surfaces. Artfix Linen has superb archival characteristics: each canvas is guaranteed not to peel, crack or flake, and will not fluctuate or lose stability due to changes in humidity and temperature. Artfix linen is made from a strong, tightly woven extra fine grade fabric that is double sized to protect the material from the adverse effects of oil paints. Up to 6 layers of ground ensures an utterly flawless support surface.
The Unprimed Basswood panel is handcrafted using a non-flexible basswood top, sanded perfectly smooth and ready to seal and prime with the ground of your choice. Compared with other wood panels on the market, the Unprimed Basswood is sanded perfectly smooth and lacks plywood seams, knots or raised fibres providing the cleaner, more professional look artists’ want. The support frames are made with quality solid pine strips that can be finished with paint or stain. Unprimed Basswood is great for encaustic, mixed media, collage and wood engraving. All wood should be sealed and primed. Available in two standard cradled profiles, 22mm and 38mm, both are simple to hang or frame. Ultra-stable, these wood panels will not give, bend or flex and like all Ampersand’s panels, they are made with quality materials that have been tested not only for durability, but also for performance with artists’ paints. Ampersand uses true high density hardboard made from US-grown renewable and FSC Certified Aspen wood fibers. Ampersand brand Hardbord is made without formaldehyde or harmful VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) unlike other hardboards and MDF boards. Both their domestic and imported panels are made from FSC certified forest products that promote sustainable forests.
