Canvas Papers, Pads, and Panels

These papers and panels are inexpensive surfaces that are appropriate for oil and acrylic painting. Use them for experimentation and practice, and to create works of art for which very long-term preservation is not a consideration.

If longevity must be measured in generations, and not years, our selection of Wood and Hardboard Panels offers other alternatives to stretched canvas.

Although it is not an archival surface, paper is ideal as an inexpensive solution for acrylic painting. Use it for practice works, for instruction, for studies and sketches.

Acrylic paper should be heavy weight to prevent warping, have a textured surface to assure adhesion, and have sizing to prevent absorption. The medium must adhere to the surface, but not be absorbed into the substrate.
