Canvas Panels and Boards

Easy to frame, canvas panels and boards are an inexpensive alternative to stretched canvas. Shop Blick’s wide selection of panels and boards, including wood and hardboard painting panels and mixed media paper and boards, at the lowest prices. Canvas boards are often constructed of primed canvas over a rigid, lightweight board. They’re not permanent, so they’re perfect for students and beginners, experimentation, and practicing techniques. Artist canvas panels are offered in a range of textures and colors.

Hardboard panels are made from a hard wood, such as birch or basswood, which are proven to be stable over time and resist cracking. Unfinished solid wood may expand and contract with changes in humidity and temperature, so priming your hardboard surface is highly recommended.

Multimedia papers and boards are coated or primed so that they can accept almost any medium. Ordinary papers accept thin waterbased paints and inks. Use these special surfaces with acrylic paints, gouache, inks, caseins, airbrush, and enamels. Some even accept oil-based mediums.
