Jackson's Wooden Panels are made of smooth, sanded light plywood, reinforced on the reverse to prevent warping. Sturdy yet lightweight, they are perfect for plein air painting projects and work in the studio.

These panels are made from wood and they are not supplied sealed. This means that liquids are absorbed into the surface and if they get too ‘wet’, there could be a swelling of the veneer. If the panel is to be used for painting then you should seal the surface with a quality glue size or an acrylic based primer. When you're applying acrylic gesso primer, avoid thinning it with water.

After sizing we recommend priming with acrylic gesso and sanding the surface to produce a smooth yet slightly absorbent surface.

Jackson's Wooden Panels can also be used for encaustic painting, or as a work support / drawing board.

Available in 20mm (approx. 3/4") and 50mm (approx. 2") deep profiles, in a wide range of sizes.

Please note: as this is a natural product, small cracks can develop on the surface. These can be removed by sanding the surface before applying the sealer or primer.

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.

Jackson's White Gesso Panels have been hand-coated with a professional acid-free acrylic gesso ground, with added Titanium White. The frame is made of Pine wood, and the board is MDF. This makes them ideal for use with all drawing and painting media. Because these panels have been made by hand, they are not perfectly uniform and may display slight differences in texture. The surface of the panel may appear perfectly smooth, or be slightly textured like cold-pressed watercolour paper. If a perfectly smooth surface is required, they can be given a light sanding with fine grade sandpaper.

These panels are great for watercolour - if you want a smoother, even more absorbent ground, you can add one of our watercolour mediums.
