Ampersand Artist Panel Canvas Texture Surface for Painting, 1.5 Inch Cradle, 16X16 Inch (APC151616)

First I think I should clarify what it is that is being sold here. This is a wooden art panel with an acrylic gesso that mimics canvas material. I read other reviews and see how they would be confused by the description but that is what it is. And yes, you only get one instead of three as the stock image shows, they should just show the one board.These are my preferred boards to paint on. I used canvas before and never liked painting lines and fine detail with them and found these boards to be amazing! I've been using these boards for years. The sides are stainable and you do not have to worry about framing your painting when you are done. Tip: Use painter's tape on the sides so you can keep them clean while doing your painting. If you haven't painted on wood you should certainly give it a try. I always felt that I had better control with a solid backing as opposed to stretched canvas giving a little.They are well constructed and worth the low cost you pay for them. I used to make my own panels but for the price versus the time to make them this is so much worth it. I highly recommend these panels.

These panels are great. I would however suggest putting on a coat or two of gesso as the surface, even though having some texture, is pretty slick.

Bought for acrylic class, no prep needed, easy to paint on and read to hang when completed! Add wire and hang, it’s that easy! Love it!

I Purchased these for my beautiful daughter, and she absolutely loves them. I highly recommends.

I love these boards- I have both painted directly on them, and coated them with a layer of medium for a kind of fresco surface, and they take both applications well.

great

This is very misleading. I honestly thought I was getting 3 of these panels. No where does it say 1. It shows 3 in the picture, but it doesn't say 1 anywhere.
