Belle Arti Cradled Gesso panels are handmade in Italy, and suitable
for a wide variety of techniques including oil, acrylic, pencil,
watercolour and ink. The extremely stable poplar 6mm plywood
base is finished with a very smooth, absorbent acrylic gesso
surface. The fine surface is ideal for detailed work. The
unprimed cradled frame behind the panel makes a work feel more
modern, as well as allowing a 3-D effect. It also means a work can
be hung professionally without the addition of a frame, if you so
desire. The external depth of the cradle is 38mm with the frame
measuring 12mm in width.They are very absorbent so you may wish to
use extra oil if using oil paint. May not be absorbent enough for
use with egg tempera which usually needs genuine gesso (made with
rabbit skin glue and whiting). If the surface isn't absorbent
enough the egg tempera paint may lift off the first layer when you
apply a second glaze.Belle Arti’s poplar multi-ply is
ecologically friendly since all the products come from renewable
sources and well-maintained plantations that minimise the
company's carbon footprint.This panel measures 50cm x 70cm.
