Nothing to say bad about it. The core hardboard seems very stable. I especially like th medium texture linen.
Great customer service!

This was purchased for a commission but after seeing the quality I changed my mind. Lots of bumps and flaws in the linen itself and a couple of flaws (hair/thread?) in the priming. I knew it wasn't top of the line but this looked like it should have been sold as seconds.

I am a plein air artist living in northern Italy and have ordered these little gems by the dozens. I use the acrylic gessoed panels with the water miscible oils and have no issues.

There is only one linen product I like any better but it is linen on board not linen on panel so to me it's a different product. The quality of these panels have so far been an exceptional surface to use for landscape paintings

I use these linen panels to paint photorealistic pieces. The panel has the perfect amount of texture to hold the paint, but it is smooth enough for my brush to glide across. Great product overall.

I have created 5 paintings with these linen panels and really enjoy working on them!

Comments about Blick Premier Belgian Linen Archival Panels:

Nice solid panels with a smooth surface. I grabbed a few for a workshop and didn't bother to gesso. I prefer the smoother surface for plein air (smaller works) as it supports detailed brush work but still absorbs larger bolder strokes. Just a nice workhorse panel.

I'd not used linen before in my oil paintings, but decided to give it a try for a piece that conveys an old feeling, almost like the era of papyrus. This worked wonderfully. I would not use it on every painting, but everyone who paints in oils should at least have the experience once or twice. Very unusual, but gorgeous effect.
