Canvas Panels


Canvas panels are an inexpensive alternative to stretched canvas. Panels are often constructed of primed canvas over a rigid, lightweight board. They're ideal for beginners, experimentation, and practicing techniques. Some panels have an archival layer of gesso that makes them well-suited for professional applications.


Choose from cotton or linen panels. They can be used with oils, alkyds, acrylics, and more. Shop canvas panels from Fredrix, Masterpiece, Richeson, Blick, and Raymar, all at the lowest prices.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • When should I choose a panel over stretched canvas?

    Rigid supports like canvas panels are sometimes preferred for oils, which become more brittle as they age. Small canvas panels are also often preferred for plein air painting; their slim profile makes them easy to transport and frame. Stretched canvases are generally preferred for larger work and are offered in deeper profiles preferred for a frameless presentation.

  • How are canvas panels typically displayed?

    Thin canvas panels (1/8" - 3/16") are typically installed in frames for display.
